Any. But I think it's best to mount old ones terminal-up to preclude
"weeping" through the old rubber gasket seals around the ceramic terminals.
Before mounting them for the last time, turn them upside down briefly so
the oil will wet the rubber inside the case, thus helping keep the rubber
from drying up over the years to come.

Do look over the case for any printed warnings of position-sensitivity,
just in case (never seen any, though).
