I'd thought about doing something similar to allow the dissipation of any heat to some extent - the new disc and existing end ring will be sealed onto the can with epoxy.

I've dealt with the aftermath of capacitors letting go in a couple of valve radios so any work at this stage to make it "less interesting" is certainly worthwhile!
