I took the electrolytic cap off to take a photo of it’s values. 

Since I took it off and it probably won’t go back on very easily, can I solder the - connections to one of the chassis lugs that is remaining from the original cap. I will hot glue the old cap back on for looks after.

And yes that paper cap is going.
