wire to anode cap

Roland, hi. As long as the wire you select is safe for voltage and current you should be fine. You can find flexible high voltage wire (test prod wire for VOM/VTVM etc) that is both easy to work, heat tolerant, and electrically safe. Check a mainline industrial parts supplier. For anything under 1kV I would choose a wire with a 5kV spec. I have been using a Beldon product but there are lots of other makers/choices. With a pliable wire you won't be putting lots of unneccesary mechanical stress on the top cap seal or the solder joint - all good. I also like this wire because it is composed of multi-strand bare copper - not plated.
