Hi gang - I need a couple of oil-filled capacitor retaining brackets for a
transmitter I'm restoring - mouse pee corroded these so bad the studs
broke. The brackets are 3" wide and 5" tall with two 1" 10-32 threaded
mounting studs for connection to the chassis.
The original type (Sangamo CP07SG4) is shown here -

Any suggestions? - SurplusSales doesn't have any that would fit.

Alternatively, is there a source for 10-32 x 1" spade bolts that I could
mount to the existing bracket?

Or, some other suggestions about how to repair these - the mounting studs
were originally spot-welded to the brackets. Flatten a piece of 10-32 rod
on an anvil to make my own studs and epoxy them on? or ???

thanks,
Nick K4NYW
