They do fit inside the housing, but don't quite seat down onto the board.
It's those red guys in the far left corner of the photo included in the XTB
description.  There just wasn't enough room to provide alternate pads at the
correct lead spacing for 630V caps.

I don't have all the components for 240V 50Hz kit at this time, but we can
probably work something out if you would contact me directly through the
address on the XTB page.
