Rough (ruler) measurement is 1/2". I didn’t mean put them in the can, I suggested filling the can with epoxy and using it only for a connection point. The cap would go wherever there is room, like between the points and coil. Yeah, it doesn’t look original, but who’s looking in there? Reliability? In the old vintage radio/TV world, paper capacitors were among the least reliable. But they did have their place. Outboard condensers are actually paper capacitors.
