    Hi Andrew,
    Thanks for taking an interest. I would have liked some BHC as well.
    I'm looking for audio quality caps really. Those caps that you linked to look more general use items. Is that right? Or am I talking out of my hat?

    Well i went looking & couldn't find a lot

    Can we have the exact capacitor dimensions please as i'm guessing they'll be 105mm long (common) but the 45mm diameter just doesn't sound right 50mm is common & so is 37.5mm & it sounds suspiciously like they might be 50mm (often 51mm or 2")..

    Had a search round all the usuall suspects.The 100v rating make them expensive but I found these in stock:

    Whats the rail voltage ? If you could get away with 63v then more choice/cheaper.

    I've got some new 100v BHC caps here that I could do cheap but they are 47000uf/68000uf and alot bigger.

    Nice find, i reckon they would fit if Darren cares to measure them properly

    I was thinking the same thing about the rails, 80V DC caps may well be ok but 63V is a bit of a drop from 100V DC rating..

    Hi Paul, very many thanks for your offer mate. The only problem is that space is very much at a premium.
