Hi, Tim,

"I'm working on the control board. C15, C28 & C29 cannot be mounted flush
to the board because of the lead spacing. If I remember correctly the
KAF2 filter board will sit just behind the rightside of the control board
and will need sufficient clearence. Can someone tell me how much
clearence I will need between the two boards? I may as well get it
straight now."

As viewed from the front of the K2, the KAF2 mounts to the left-rear side
of the control board (the rear side of the control board is component
side).

A 1/2" standoff spacer that comes with with the KAF2 kit provides the
correct spacing so that there is sufficient space between the boards and
the connectors on the KAF2 and control board mate correctly. 
Installation of this spacer is described in the first step on page 8 of
the KAF2 manual.

Apparently the three electolytics you mention are different than those
that came with my K2.  I had no problem mounting them flush to the
control board.
