Yes Paul, replacement with X2 caps would be the ideal, problem is that the original caps are designed specifically for this application. The outer body (grounded pole) is fixed to the appliance case whilst the supply feeds through the centre which is the inner pole of the cap, this makes it fairly safe to fit as the mechanical integrity prevents any danger of the supply touching the case.
