You do not want to remove and discard the original bakelite plastic cased caps. Rather you can remove the innards and install modern film caps inside. This retains the original appearance and they also serve as terminal tie points for the other wiring.

Do a search on this site and you can find detailed info on how to accomplish the rebuilding of the bakelite caps.
