They're a disc type capacitor, usually blue or yellow, with very fine print on them. I usually order them at Justradios if I have a larger order going in, but when I only need a few things I get them from Digi-Key for about 60 cents each. Digi will ship USPS for ~$5 as long as it's under 14oz. The last time I ordered I bought Kemet C981U103MZVDBA7317.
Also, I originally planned to use a 3 position (middle grounded) terminal strip to mount the two caps, but I ultimately decided to scrape the goop and caps out of the original block and then mounted/soldered the new safety caps inside the block. For me it was more about saving space and not having to find a new, safe mounting hole for the terminal strip. But of course it also looks more original in the end.
