replacing a dual Ecap with 2
#1

I have a GE GD-60 on my bench right now and am 99% finished recapping but the Ecap is frustrating me.

It is a 20+12. I got a 16 and a 10 to replace them? I dont know why I didn't just get a 20 and a 12 in the first place so I think I might.

But I dont know how to seperate this large Ecap into 2 new ones or where to attach them. I stink at reading schematics and I have never replaced an Ecap so I need some guidance.

The Ecap has 2 leads from one end going to cathodes of the 25z5 and the other end leads going to 2 separate terminals.

I figure I would twist the 20 and 12 leads together on one end but do I twist the negatives or the positives?

and then where do the other end of the 20 and 12 go to?

I know I can just follow the old wire but which one connects to the 20 and which one to the 12?

I am lost yet again. I have added the sch. below Any help is appreciated.... the schematic has a change for the GD-60 below the schematic for these Ecaps.
