Default Multi-Section Capacitors - "Empties"

The problem with cardboard in close quarters with vacuum tube equipment is the heat. The multi-section cap in my Dynaco ST35 is less than two inches from the output tubes, which run at 240F +/-. For just one example. Not that there is any danger of fire - but it is quite warm. I also want the metal can look. I have found sources, even at reasonable costs - at quantities of 500 or more.
