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. -tony
