Although this board was made for a smaller size modern cap of the same values, these sprague 20uF and 300uF seem to fit on this board. They are all touching though. Would this work? Or would there be trouble with all these caps so close they're touching each other?
How would you secure them on the board except for the soldering? Maybe a tie-wrap going around the caps and the board, to take some stress off the joints?
Final question. Can this one 20uF cap replace the two 10uF in series (the can cap in 124)? I figured I could, since two 10uF caps in parallel is 20uF. 
Thanks for your help and insights. Here are the pictures showing the board with the caps. I know the boards are for axial caps and the 320uF are radial, but that can be worked around:

						Do you think these caps fit this power board?

Re: Do you think these caps fit this power board?
Use non acidic silicone caulk and put a bead of caulk under each cap.
Bend the leads and insert then in the proper eyelets then glue the caps to the board with the caulk.
Next day solder the leads.
