I don't know what capacitors you have, but the so-called "geek caps" (CDE 
942C series) are among the best MMC caps to use, and are easy to get:

We ship worldwide - email info-at-thegeekgroup-dot-org with the number of 
capacitors and desired shipping time for a quote on shipping.

If you have caps and are looking for answers, then please post the part 
number and manufacturer and someone here will undoubtedly give you some help.

Cheers!
