Maybe trimming a bit won't hurt functionality?
When I have had this issue I have simply just cut them off. Works fine!
Thanks, I thought I could cut them off, same as we normally clip the sliders in them, but was worried that it will affect functionality.
On the other hand, when cut off, they would look same as pcb mount.
I guess reason for these pillars is to hold cap stems better, but as long as sliders are sitting inside them, it should be ok.
I'll try it and let you know:)
Thanks for responses guys
