I guess I should have taken pictures. Don't remove it from cap body. soldering to the cap foil is almost impossible. Cut the lead at the end caps.
Follow Ups:
I don't see why there must be soldered new leads to the cap.
The leads that come off the foil inside the cap are non metallic and I suspect them to be copper. They terminate into a rigid steel lead that exits the case. The whole mod deals with eliminating the magnetic metal from the caps.
I think what he means is that he doesn't see why you need to add new leads to the internal leads that attach to the foil. Oh, and they're DEFINITELY metallic ;)
I simply don't believe the short lead makes an impact on sound quality.
But YMMV. It's OK.
The K72p6 has slight magnetic stiff lead (2.5mm diametr)
.
The FT-2 have non-magnetic soldering tabs.
Yet I slightly prefer the K72p-6 sonically.
