Hello all, 

I managed to strip the threads in one side of the heatsink that receives the
side panel screw. The is the thin channel, not a drilled and tapped screw
hole. This happened after a couple installations of the KPA100. Those of you
that will be swapping out tops may want to exercise caution. No hard
feelings though, this is a great kit and the quality is high throughout! 

I jammed in electrical tape to give something for the screw to grab on to
but am searching for a more elegant way of fixing this. Perhaps an insert of
some sort that would be inserted into the heatsink?
