As for the caps, I agree w/ Vinnie, Panny TSHA or TSxx. These are radial type with spikes for terminals. The spikes will fit into a terminal strip and then can be soldered.
If you need axial, check the panny FC, but you may have to use a couple in parallel of the same uf, as I don't think they go as high as 15Kuf
As for the bridge, A FRED would be my last choice, espicially for heaters. Either UF type, or Schottky's over a sand bridge.
If you currently have sand diodes, going to a Schottky or FRED will increase the heater voltage causing a noticeable difference,increasing mids,highs and "air". The increase in heater voltage is due to less forward voltage drop.
Always document the "before" voltages if you decide to change anything.
