Tubenutt...can't you use the X/Y safety caps in the block? I do...mine come from Mouser, and look like ceramic discs except they are blue. I use .01 uF, and they fit.

I've never bought anything from Just Radios - nothing against them, I'm just used to buying from Mouser and Allied - so I don't know how big the Just Radios X/Y safety caps are.

Edit: The counter guy at the local electronics distributor, where I occasionally buy a few parts when I'm in a hurry, insists that a metalized film capacitor rated at 630v DC is safe to use on AC; they don't carry the X/Y caps. But I use the X/Y units anyway. Better safe than sorry, especially when they're going into radios that aren't mine (customers' sets).
