Much like Mr W.Mohat’s article in the last Outboarder old capacitor casing are emptied out, I drilled the bottom side edge with a small 1/16 hole to pass and solder one capacitor .wire on the side. I prefer the side soldering vs bottom soldering just to keep the capacitor sitting flat of the mag plate surface.
the top wire is bent 90 degrees twice to get it centered on the cap. top
The top wire exiting the capacitor is wrapped with a few layers of tape to keep it from touching the edge of the emptied casing.
After centering the capacitor in the casing I filled it with epoxy glue
the top wire is then soldered to the old capacitor wire so it can be reattached to the point screw
Before soldering the end wire I slipped on a one inch piece of shrink tubing to cover my solder joint.
Sliding it back over the solder joint and shrinking it makes for a nice connection
Mr.Mohat method of emptying the old casings makes for a nicer finished capacitor rim but I simply shaved off the capacitor rim on my grinder and out comes the whole contents.
btw some capacitors have a carboard insulator on the inner surface of the casing so if you have one keep it and use it !
all that said and done one could probably just connect each capacitor end wire without a casing one to ground one to the point screw ….
