> Can you get caps with extra long leads

Not that I am aware of. If longer leads are needed when I replace caps, I just lengthen them. This is easy when I am restuffing old paper capacitor bodies - just add the long leads near each end of the capacitor body, then put the new cap inside the old paper shell, seal with hot glue, and no one will know the difference.
