I ran into exactly the same problem building my KX1. It seemed like the screws provided with the kit were just too short; only a turn or two of the thread was engaging (and immediately stripping out.)
I had some longer 2-56 screws and verified that there was still good thread in the holes. I was able to make it work by carefully trimming the longer screws to just the right length with a Dremel tool. The longer screws fully engaged all the threads in the holes and hold the battery holders securely. 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Sep 27, 2010, at 7:03 PM, Phil Barnes-Roberts WA6DZS wrote: > (With photos, too large for the reflector) > The Problem: > <http://wa6dzs.blogspot.com/2010/09/mounting-battery-holders-in-kx-1.html > > > The Fix: > <http://wa6dzs.blogspot.com/2010/09/fix-mounting-battery-holders-in-kx-1.html > > > > -- > '---O=o=O---' > 73, Phil Barnes-Roberts WA6DZS DM04we | Mailto:pbarnrob at ACM dot > org > 42 is not an answer, it's an error code.
