A little time at the bench today. I removed the cardboard tubed 40 mfd cap, and was able to open it and remove the contents. The parts box yielded something to place inside the can, and I made a new end cap to support the + terminal which was slightly damaged in getting things apart. This will all go back together, the end of the can rolled back and the whole thing placed back in the cardboard tube. I drilled small holes to allow discrete wires from the new caps to be soldered to the external tabs.
I did drill the rivet in the bracket holding the cap to the chassis. A 3 mm nut and bolt will resecure the clamp around the cap. From above, no visible change.
The cap foil and paper were stil moist - it could possibly have been reformed, but this approach is better.
Cheers,
Ed
