Not really no. The base of the capacitors is actually touching the board, so I can't get under it to cut anything anyway, which is why I am thinking I would have to cut the tops off them. Even if I could cut one of the leads, I can't solder a capacitor underneath as that is where the board is mounted into the enclosure, there is only room for the mounting standoffs on the underside.
