Ive been using CDE 381LX 330 uF/450V caps for close to 20 years in that amp
for customers. They fit the blocks perfectly, are higher capacity for
improved peak regulation, 105 degree C and half the length of the originals.
Mouser stocks them.
There is no need to waste time or money on alternative mounting using them.
