[R-390] Filter cap replacement question

For you guys who are restuffing your R390A's electrolytics, which caps are
you using?  I ordered some from Mouser with the intent of simply installing
them "bare" through the holes in the octal sockets.  Sadly, the octal
sockets in this AF module, though, don't have through hole style sockets;
therefore, I'm planning on using an octal plug.  I have some old cans from
another set I've gutted, but these caps are just about 0.010" in diameter
too large to stuff three of them in the can so I was wondering where you are
getting caps small enough to fit three inside the cans.

I have some old burned-out octal tubes and their bases are a perfect press
fit in the old cans so if I can find small enough caps, this should be a
cake-walk.

Thanks in advance,

Barry - N4BUQ
