Hi Drew ...

not too many companies sell caps for Tesla use due to the harsh enviroment
they are subjected to. I would
suggest that maybe you could contact Terry and see if he would build you a
professional MMC and pay him
properly for his efforts, expertise, and parts. I'll bet that this could be
arrainged for a price that
would be comparable to or maybe even less than say a Maxwell ( new).
Besides, if you blow a Maxwell, its
toast! If you blow a few of the MMC caps, then replacing a few caps is
easier than buying a new Maxwell.

Also, an MMC is semi variable as compared to a single cap. I dont remember
who it was, but he had designed
an MMC in such a manner that all one had to do was add additional "tubes"
of caps to the holding device (
very nice design) to increase/decrease capacitance.

alot of people have been having great results with MMC's   reconsider the
MMC route...
