The pin jumpers are available from places like All Electronics for 50 cents
for a 40 pin header. Cut the header into appropriate lengths and solder
jumper wires and caps/resistors across the correct pins. Put the jumpers
for the each mod in a small envelope appropriately marked and ready for use
if necessary.
I can't see spending big bucks when $2 will do for something you will rarely
use!! It really is that easy.

Subject: [Elecraft] Rework Eliminators: when to use them, and why
Gary and company have done a very professional job on the "Eliminators."
Some builders will find them useful. On the other hand, Elecraft's
documentation and staging of construction is consistent and carefully
planned, so they are not a necessity.
It's clear that builders can successfully complete the K2 using either
method.
Here's my recommendation:
- If the notion of plug-in substitutes for future options strongly
appeals to you, and you don't mind *carefully* following the additional
set of instructions that comes with them, then by all means consider this
method.
- If you'd prefer to minimize the amount of documentation you have to
deal with in building a kit, then stick with the Elecraft manuals. If
you're capable of building a K2, then you certainly won't have any trouble
adding options "our" way.
Disclaimer: I'm the principle designer of the K2 and wrote most of the
manuals, so I could be biased. You decide :)
