  I'm not sure what you're describing. Can
you link to a pic of one of
 these caps?

Those are not polarised.

...
   Why not some
other type?  
 Because on that board, they fitted _underneath_ the DIP sockets,
 and nothing else will fit down there! 
I've used some resin-cased axial lead ceramic capacitors which are 
about the same size and which I would be very surprised if they 
wouldn't fit.

Incidentlly, if you are fitting IC sockets do fit the turned pin (machined
pin) ones. They cost a bit more now, but will save you endless headaches
...
 from bad contacts in the future.
