Filtercap through chassis?

[Joost]

This filtercap through the chassis near the relay boards has me confused. I am working on drawings for a custom chassis and and the layout shows an electrolytic cap through the chassis, but the commercially available chassis don't seem to have a hole for them?

Also, this picture of a 124 build doesn't show it. What is the correct answer?

In #124 there is a can cap;
If you use F&T caps on the filter board you have some room for the other filter nodes. Sprague's are insane big.

Thanks, but where can I get that brown part to hold the cap under the chassis?

[odourboy]

The brown part is the bottom of the cap. All you need is the can cap and a mounting clamp. (And a hole in the chassis if you don't already have one there.)

The clamps look like this:

used to be a can/thru was the only option, nowadays w/ the advent of modern dielectrics, a radial sizewise can be glued inside

Yeah, most of us don't use the can cap such as #124 has.

Modern 20-22uF caps are much smaller in size so you can put four on the filter cap board.

Or build the precision power supply.

Yeah, I've thought about the precision power supply, but here's the thing. I managed to find some sprague atom caps of the right value for filtering, so I thought I'd use them.

I got some 320uf 350v caps from Steve here on the board and I got these, will these fit on a classic power filter board?

Unless you tell me the precision power filtering board has significant advantages in tone or build

CE Manufacturing 20/20uF 450VDC Multi Section Can Capacitor is a good substitute.

very cool, but do I need it? or are the caps in my ebay link small enough to go on the board
