Philco 116 Broken Mica Capacitor Lead Wire
#1

Hello Everyone, just as the title of the thread states, I accidentally broke the lead off of C33A a 3000 pF mica capacitor that was attached to one of the oscillator adjustment padders, and I need to know what voltage I need to go with. Mouser has what I need but I need to know if I need to go with either a 500VDC unit or a 1,000VDC unit, or if it doesn't matter. 

I know normally in a radio restoration you're not really supposed to touch the mica capacitors but in this case I have no choice because the original capacitor didn't have much lead from the factory and when I went to try and reattach the capacitor after replacing the old brass screws that were badly corroded the capacitor lead that was still attached to one of the terminals of the padder control the lead just broke off from all of the stress that it had on the lead over the years. 

Should i go with a 3000pF 500VDC unit or  3000 pF 1,000VDC unit? 
Also should i go with a 1% or 5% tolerance?

Links to the capacitors in question are posted below.
