Trouble Determining Correct Capacitor Replacement

I need 2x .068 mfd @ 1000V and 1x .0033 mfd @ 1000V. The closest that is offered is @ 650V at the correct capacitance. 1600V radial film capacitors are now offered, but nothing close enough to the values needed are available. Does anyone have advice on which to choose or where else to look?

Unless those caps are in a timing or frequency dependent circuit where value is critical you can use a couple of 630V caps in series.

For the .068uf use a .1uf & a .2uf cap, for the .0033uf use 2 .0068uf.
