Ed:
I think you are making a good choice in going with Plastic Capacitors,
Inc.  Just for information, the original CP order came with 1/2-13
threaded studs.  The Plastic Capacitor product with the BNZ type number
actually doesn't use a stud(I'm guessing this is what Tom is
suggesting).  Mine came with about 1" brass Hexes sticking out the top
which then had a 3/8-16 threaded hole included.  I hope that clarifies
"one" of their types physical features.  I'm in good shape right now so
I won't order anything else, but it does look like a good plan for the
group.
