Edit Reason: 'nother thought

That's a good point about board flex Kevin, locking nuts it'll be then.
@Sherlok, I just did some measurements and with the second board, assuming about 3mm of space between the two boards, I'll have about 2mm of clearance between the capacitors and the chassis. Assuming the chassis itself doesn't flex a bit. I think that might be a bit too close for comfort. I guess options now are to get smaller capacitors, insulate the capacitor cans with something (kapton tape?) other than their sleeves, figure out how to layout the board so I can rest it against the bell without shorting, perhaps insulate the bell (fishpaper?), or just stop fussing and mount the board next to the transformer since there is space.
Edit: Another option would be to add a few nuts as spacers between the transformer and the chassis, so that the bell doesn't sit as deep in the cutout. There is already one nut of space stock, two more nuts would give me an extra 6mm of space. Hmm...
