The resistors now are mounted by their leads between the connector and the
LED and are bent to be just under the level of the potting compound.  Just
complicates things to do inductors off the PCB.  Again, if I could fit the
inductor and everything else on a board 15mm square and 6mm tall it would
fit.

and almost certainly no larger than the resistors the OP said were being
used currently.
