[Elecraft] KPA100 side panel stripped screw threads

[John A. Rodenbarger]

I can vouch for the Heli-Coil repair system. In the past 35 years or so I've
used them to repair:
Stripped sparkplug hole on a BMW R60/5
Stripped exhaust manifold stud hole on a VW microbus
Stripped/galled holes on various bits of TV production lighting and field
tripods.
And the list goes on and on...
Not sure if they're available easily in 4-40 and 6-32 sizes, though....If
you find the proper size kit, I'd reccomend doing all the holes, not just
the stripped one.
