SX-535 Filter Capacitors

Morning,

I am replacing the 4700uf 35v filter capacitors in an SX-535. I only have 100v 4700uf that have the same physical characteristics. Is jumping from from the original 35v to 100v a problem, or should I just order something closer to the original voltage?

Thank you in advance!

does that 6800 @ 80V have the same diameter as the original? I'm having a hard time sourcing caps that large without going to 10,000 uf

Yes, there are lots of 35mm 6800 uf caps out there, you shouldn't have to use new clamps. Also, those clamps are mostly bonkers expensive, you can get clamps on eBay for way cheaper.
 
Most of the clamps I've purchased through Mouser were in the $7-10 U.S. range. There are some very expensive ones listed, though. You have to filter through. Shipping does have a cost as well.

I just have several 6800 uf filter caps but they are all 25mm. I wanted to use a few in 2 sx-535s that I am restoring. Foud some clamps on ebay much cheaper than what was on Mouser. $6.00 for the pair. Thanks for both of your responses, Burno and East Point. Still a little new to this, only restored about 10 units so far, Haven't thought about replacing the clamps but in this case it is my solution. I'll see if I can find any 35mm caps on Mouser, when I try by starting out with the diameter the smaller capacitance values are't usually available. Thanks again

It’s a piece of metal, anything over $3-5 seems excessive.
 
Right, I'm saying Mouser's prices are nuts. I honestly don't understand so much of their business, but to be fair I don't think they do either.
 
Another option is these rubber couplings used for drain pipes. Sold wherever you find plumbing supplies for 3 or 4 bucks each. One will get you enough material for several capacitors.
