Sure, if you need to mount them on top of the chassis like the can was. But since modern electrolitic construction has miniaturized somewhat from the past, new individual replacements may fit underneath the chassis. In that case, simply cover the hole via a piece of metal, etc. BTW, bothering to cut/glue a slightly recessed cardboard end cap for the TP tube cover improves appearance & really does mimic some kinds of Vintage multi-section capacitors. There is no electrocution hazard via the twisted Common negative leads as these are same electrical potential as the Can shell & chassis. Be sure to re-establish a chassis to circut Common connection if the original Can shell were direct-mounted (& thus connected) to the chassis.
