/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I didn't pay attention to the "Image is for illustrative purposes only" warning and I ordered a load of film caps that have 15mm lead spacing when I need 5mm lead spacing.
They have tiny little legs too so I can't really bend the legs in and have the cap sitting off the board.
I don't really care about aesthetics so I was thinking to solder one leg in place and sit the cap vertically with some heatshrink covered cable linking the other leg to the through hole.
Does anyone have any better suggestions?
Ideally I'd just buy the right size but film caps are expensive bastards.
They're being used on the inputs to various op amp band pass filters
