If you could use terminal strips it will make things a bit more manageable, though mid-air mount was popular way back and works fine. In Russia in fact they used it in 40-s and 50-s, and, instead of solder, they used a welding gun to weld leads together. That was super-reliable. Though the reason it for it being done was pretty mundane - shortage of tin and led
The leads were also much thicker back then, as we all know comparing old parts to today's ones; so the rigidity was pretty good also.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
