Are NGK XB05F/XD05F Caps suitable for a 1980 Jota? (it currently metal shielded units with B8ES Plugs).

Eg.

Black models also listed at same prices

Also assuming the leads from coils can be replaced where is a good place to get these?
 
Yep, they will do fine. I personally use the straight ones only - can't remember why (maybe because they resist the heat better, or maybe because they are a pain to locate without touching the cam cover?)

The metal ones are a pain in the arse - too thick and can short out in the wet/dirt.  The metal casing is not for your benefit, but to reduce radio interference  ::) . Modern plastic ones do just as good a job.
