Just take the snap in caps and fold the tap over and solder it to the traces.  
It’s done all the time.

Hey all,
Anyone have any ideas for re-capping an Alpha 76 or 76A? Obviously I can do a 
direct replacement, but I have a case of 500V snap in's. and the originals are 
the screw in type.

I was thinking about doing a daughter board (just home etched or perf board) 
that adapted the screw ins to the snap ins, but I thought I would ask here if 
anyone had any better ideas.

On an old AL-80, that had similar screw in's, I filled the holes with epoxy and 
redrilled for the snap-ins.  It was quick and easy.
