use two sheets of foil with a layer of plastic between them. Offset the foil a bit from each other so you can connect to the ends that stick out on opposite sides with your wires. Roll up the sandwich. Cut two strips from a sheet of foil if you don't want to make a capacitor as long as the width of the foil. The more area you have, the more capacitance you will have. You could just twist the insulated pieces of wire together to make a very small capacitor.

I cannot tell exactly without knowing the running condition of the preasent set-up. Yet you can be rest assured that if you change them for the better, you,no doubt, will enjoy more relaxing power while driving.
