I was in your situation and found the needed caps on ebay. Before that I tried to enlarge the teminals with wires to place the caps somewhere they would fit but it did not work due to the wires inductance. The supply voltage output dropped under load.

There's certainly a limit to how long you can make the wires,
but I've had success in the past by putting a .1uF cap at the mounting
holes before adding longer wires...but longer was a quarter inch.
