The kits sometimes contain capacitors whose leads are 0.2" spacing 
rather than 0.1" spacing.  The capacitor manufacturer then bends the 
leads inward with a little "jog" and they come out as 0.1".

I just checked the clearances on the KDSP2 PCB and 1/16" of an on the 
capacitor leads should be OK.
