I have always mounted odd size caps on the horizontal, so they don't slide out of the strap. Sometimes I add a zip-tie for the same reason. If I make a bracket, then I leave the OEM one inside for the next time.
Brother that was rough to watch haha. A few things. First, keep an AmRad Turbo200 and Turbo200X on hand and avoid this entire thing. If you insist on using two caps, do a double band clamp. Instead of breaking the band off after the first cap, just secure the next cap with the remaining band. 1 strap, 2 caps, 3 screws. Now all the terminals are in line. Lastly, don't mount a cap upside down especially if it is an oil filled cap. There are a few reasons for this but here are two good ones: when that thing fails it's gonna make a mess. Most importantly, oil filled caps are never to be mounted upside down or horizontal because the oil will fill the top gas expansion void and part of the cell plating will be out of oil and exposed to air, leading to premature failure. But I digress.
@@HiTek3 I like the idea of using the same strap, I guess I just was thinking about somebody having to replace one of them in the future. But I have not heard about the capacitor being mounted upside down being an issue. I have seen a few manufacturers have capacitors from the factory mounted upside down or horizontal. More times than not it’s horizontal especially with blower capacitors
Thanks for the video. You did a nice job!
great video and quick fix A+

Yep
Ooofff. Take this video down dude.

@@FixintobuildHave you tired math?
