NickCheck eBay item number 401555441964 for description.  Might be available locally?Jim I wonder why people argue over the 10% of their differences and ignore the 90% they agree on?

I need to re-stuff some multi-section octal plug-in cans. Removal of the guts went OK.On the interior the plug-in pins are aluminum crimp connections to the old capacitor sections, so I can't solder the new caps there. 
What have others done to re-cap these military caps?    Used a new solderable octal plug connector base (not the right size)?    Crimped to the aluminum somehow?The external plug-in pin is solderable - I am thinking about drilling a hole in the base to run a wire through and solder at the top of the pin. Has anyone doe this? This is evidently standard procedure for recapping the solder-tab type caps.
I guess I could just forget the cans/plugs and run leads from the new caps through the octal socket and solder in place that way. But that is so ugly.....
Other suggestions welcome.

N.B. I usually reform electrolytics, but these 3 plug-ins have corroded at the base and dried out. And there ain't no room under the chassis for 9 new caps.
