The bi polar or non polarized caps are very specific. they are almost never used in standard applications.

For example, I work on a lot of electrohome g07's, one of the caps is a 1uf 50v. It is standard and has both a + and - sign to indicate a standard cap.
2 other positions call for 3.3up 50v bi polar caps and there are not any indications on the chassis of positive or negative.

9 times out of 10 you do not want bi polar caps.

many chassis' use them in small quantities. K7000's use 3-10uf 50 v bi polars (iirc).
 
i would personally use a quality capacitor unless you like redoing work in a couple years. good quality caps are not that much more and when you realize the amount of time to pull the chassis in and out its definitely worth doing the work once and spend a couple dollars more for your caps.

I totally agree but wow the shipping cost for cap kit is insane ? So i was looking for a quick solution (something i can have this week).

Do you sell capkit for ms8-26? (It's a twin sega rally)?
