Apply hot glue to legs and fill the gap between capacitors and base.
This makes it sturdy and no chances of shorting out.

If you cut the can in the right place the cover will slide inside the base. If not clean the meatal a bit by grinding to fit.

What I did to keep the two halves together was pin the inside of the cover 1/16 of an inch from the bottom. This puts dimples that stick out around the outside bottom of the cover. Just slightly tap together and that is it.

This works great for old tram radios.
