The original safety cap on volume was a dublier no longer available. It's a sealed unit with thick leads coming out and impregnated with wax. I had two of these go and wax sprude out all over the place with a loud hissing all coming out from sides and leads. I think it would be difficult to cut open. From what I've noticed is most people don't seem to bother replacing them but I used Rifa X2 PMR 209 40/085/56/B 47nf 100r. That will do the trick if it's on volume pot. I think I got them from RS online as it's free postage next day delivery.
