Mike, Please do not use any fixative on the toroids. I echo Peter's comments, I too repair many K2s and if the toroids are glued, they are a real pain to work with. I have *never* seen a problem with loose toroids, the wires hold them in place just fine. One of the K2s that I built logged over 500,000 miles in the cab of an 18 wheeler without a problem and those toroids were supported only by their leads.
