Here's my plan. I've made this jig.

All I need to do is put the wire in the shuttle (piece of teflon wire insulation rolled up in painters tape) and attach the capacitor to the filter body and the wire which will be in the shuttle and press it into the copper cup. Of course I'll make a few test runs with just the ohmmeter to see that I just get the wire in just enough to hit the resonator without bending the wire. Dimensions will be very critical. I'll have to glue the rulers to the aluminum track so it's pretty stable so it probably won't be until tomorrow.
If anyone has a better idea, let me know. I'll make some drawings of the dimensions of the cup, wire and shuttle so everyone can have them. You can't believe how small this stuff is, the pictures are deceptive, like 2x. Like I say it's about all I can do to see the wire. I have to keep it stuck to a piece of tape.
