Default Re: Restuffing Dual Electrolytic Can Capacitor

Nicely done but an observation, I hope you do not mind.

You do not need the tags inside maybe just a washer. Drill three 1mm holes through the disc immediately next to and behind the front tags and pass the leads through, then loop them round the base of the tags and solder hard against the disc. Once you solder the wires / components to the tags you will not notice the loops.

No chance then of the rivet loosening or suffering aluminium to solder resistance over time.
