What techniques are available for mounting axials when you have used them to replace radial type capacitors? Anyone have photos of creative ways to achieve this replacement? Sounds like a common enough problem, but I can't find anything on the net, in particular images, that might show approaches.
Replacing Cans/Radial Capacitors w/ Axial Type

Rob This seem obvious enough.... but it depends on the physical space available. The really apparent way to do this is to mount them on one end with the other (usually negative) longer wire (insulate it) going back down to the PCB. If it is not long enough you can fix that with a jumper wire splice. Daniel Sofie

Silly question maybe, but why not replace with like with like in the first place ?
