Hello Joseph,
That looks great only thing I would make sure is that screw has good clean area where it contacts the ground lug.

Sincerely Richard

Excellent point! Thank you, sir.

Joseph,

Yes you could do that too. But why did you choose to buy these conspicuously large capacitors? 10nF Y2 caps should be about half the diameter those in your picture, unless you kept the leads long.
I never had them protrude much at all.
In fact, in my article on this, I restuffed 0.01uF Y2 caps; you could see in the pictures they are quite inside.

You’re right, yours are much smaller. I must admit that I ordered these without much regard to size. I ordered them back in August, before I had learned that the Bakelite housing could be restuffed. These are X1Y1 rated, but I’ve since learned that I can use a lesser safety rating. 

These are also 0.01 μF capacitors. Likely much larger than a 10 nF capacitor. Even so, I am surprised by their size.

0.01uF and 10nF are the same capacitances

Its the rating. Yours are rated to 500V and the Y2 are up to 300V. Obviously that dictates smaller size.
Plus you will likely pay more for the caps with more stringent rating.
Y2 is quite enough.

Silly me, you are right! I read and wrote nF, but was thinking pF.
