I'm wondering if I got the right caps with my kit as the instructions say to bend the leads, but the caps I got are snap-ins with tiny little stubby leads.  Is this correct?

Thanks,

Jim

Yes, the stubby leads need to be bent at a right angle so they can be soldered to the terminal strips.

Ok, it will probably make more sense as I'm doing the actual assembly.  This is all just part of my pre-build prep work.

Thanks,

Jim
