On to the four section electrolytic. This cap is mounted horizontally under the chassis using a clamp on the end opposite the terminals.
Using the lathe to make a nice clean cut near the clamped end of capacitor.
On this one, I'm using a piece of 1-1/2 PVC conduit as a sleeve to hold the can together. I'm using three 1uf and one 2.2uf film capacitors.
Four holes were drilled in end of the capacitor can, one near each terminal to bring out one lead from each capacitor. The negative common lead will be brought out at the other end of the can.
The leads are connected to each of the terminals. The common lead near the bottom will be under the mounting clamp to provide the ground connection.
