Where to buy 1500uF 6.3V 8x15 or 8x20mm low ESR/imp capacitors?

[tomhoo]

I have some 8x15's failed on a mobo and I can't find this size
anywhere. The closest is 8x20. However, Digikey and Mouser don't
stock them.

Lead spacing P=3.5mm

Maybe I should forget about trying to match, get a 10x15 P=5 and do the
best I can.

I'm guessing that the 8x15x3.5 was wishfull thinking when they built
the mobos and nowadays cap manu's realize they can't make that package.

Thoughts?

Is there an issue with the extra height (.200"?) If not, get the
longer ones.

You can try checking manufactuers such as Nichicon, NIC, and Nippon
Chemi-Con/United Chemi-Con. Look for part numbers, and then try to find
a source for those.
