I am adding a second final to my radio, and the mod calls for 2 390pf 5% 50wv mica capacitors. I can only find 390pf 5% 50wv ceramic capacitors, and 390pf 5% 300vdc silver mica capacitors. Can I substitute either one for what they call for?, and if so which one would be better?

Thanks Bigbob for the reply. I kind of thought the silver mica cap would be better, but was concerned that the voltage was 300vdc, not 50wv.
I guess is is alright to go up on the voltage, but never go below what is called for.
