A metal bracket to attach a metal cap can leave your top plate energized. Be careful when you ground the amp to the AC line ground and flo=ip the switch that the short does not blow up the capacitor and injure you. Measure resistance to ac ground for all exposed metal and parts to find your short. Aways check your parts for ground paths.
