Inexpensive as they are, no problems subbing a couple of 450 volt caps in series if there is any doubt belt and suspender mode. If you need 22 mfd for example, two identical 47 mfds in series would be just fine. Bleeder/load resistors let's say 220 K 1 watt on each leg are optional, good of you to add a fuse too, lest this thread continues until it snows again.
