Re-stuff it. Use hot glue to "clump" the caps and secure to an inside corner. I use new cloth-covered wires with same color code to bring out the leads. I save the fish paper insert too. Just carefully and S-L-O-W-L-Y unbend the tabs to eviscerate the original caps. I use "yellow" 630 volt film types for replacements.
