Hi Jimmy,
The back of my WIMA catalog indicates the following representatives:
R-THETA SALES (Ontario, Canada)
http://www.r-theta.ca

TAW ELECTRONICS, INC. (Burbank, CA)
http://www.tawelectronics-dot-com

INTER-TECHNICAL (Elmsford, NY)
http://www.inter-technical-dot-com

Looking through my catalog, I see that I had circled FKP1 as a good 
possible Tesla duty cap. If you end up purchasing these, ensure you state 
the longest lead spacing available (37.5mm) because they will default to 
the shortest length if unspecified. However, Geek Group caps tested out 
brilliantly and probably rated highest among all which were tested. They 
also have an amazing track record in this particular use. Also note, for 
the same uF the Geek Group has made available, the Wima's Vdc rating is 
nearly half that of the Geek Group caps (Cornell Dubilier). Both caps are 
designed for high current pulse applications.

Take care,
Bart
