James,
It is not likely to be a problem, but check any that are on the
bottom. If they are too high to clear the bottom cover, just bend them
over a bit. Replace the ones with the cracked bodies.

Good morning everyone.
I have finished the basic CW version and all my checks and alignments are good.
The question I do have is, the capacitors (101) tan in color, have the legs
bend in a zigzag pattern. When I tried to straighten them I ended up cracking
the ceramic insulation on them. So I replaced them and installed all of them
without straightening the legs. That of course put them a bit tall on the
board. The manual states to install all components as close to the board as
possible, to avoid stray RF coupling on the board.
Do you all think the way I installed them is going to be an issue? And how
would I be able to tell if it is a issue?
Thank you for all the help I have received so far from this group.
