This block calls for (2) 0.09 Caps.

I only have a pair of 0.08 @ 630v. , will this work?

or do I need to find the exact ones or any equivalents you can suggest ?

thanks in advance

What you have will be fine. Capacitance value not critical, just voltage rating.
630 v. caps are fine.

Just to play it safe, I replaced the 0.09 with 0.1 630v.

thanks
