When I rebuild a can like that, I reuse the original front and back insulators, the original fish paper, original lead wires if they do not have damaged insulation, and I twist the common leads together and solder with the original bare wire that is soldered to the can. Sometimes I inject some hot glue to hold the capacitors together but some electrical tape would do just as well.
