The holes in the heat sink were definitely not deep enough. Gary at Elecraft Support told me to use the 3/16" flat head screws to attach the bracket. I then used the 5/16 screws for the top cover where the length did not matter. The only other problem was the transfomer mounting bolt - it was not threaded all the way. I was lucky and found a bolt at Ace Hardware . The amp is now assembled and works like a champ.
73, Bob W6VY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmmm! Unusual. Earlier this week I finished assembling #402. I used hardware exactly as called for in the instructions. No problem with assembling the Z-bracket onto the heat sink, nor with fastening the bottom cover. I was one screw short at one point during the assembly, but simply used one from the "extras" package to complete the work. I have been successfully integrating the KPA500 into my station, and giving it a good workout during the past couple of days. 73, Doug, VE3VS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
