Mounting large film capacitors

58.96.66.70

Hey all.

I've got some large (very large actually, 36x106 cm !) mundorf supreme capacitors. I'm using them in a phono preamp, and obviously, have to mount them off board.

What would be the best way to secure them to the chassis ? A metal capacitor clamp (I'm worried, that as the chassis will be earthed, a metal clamp might put noise into the capacitor), or use something to "glue" it on, like an epoxy, or some chunky double sided tape ...

I'm almost done collecting parts for this preamp, so soon I'll be able to listen to the friggin thing !!!

Thanks :)
