I have most of the capacitors Ineed, but they are not long enough. I need to extend the length of the leads. I was thinking maybe take some solid core wire, not sure on size, strip it, then lap it or twist it and solder it. I dont want to ruin the caps. If anyone has any ideas out there i could us them!! I don't want to take from the values by adding more wire ?Any help would be great. Thanks

just soldier and play

Thanks roe. Just do it!

If the leads are long enough, what I have done in the past is make a hook on the cap lead and a hook in some buss wire (small gauge) and then hook them together and squeeze the hooks tight, then solder. Worked fine.

Thanks structo. I will do that
