Hi, Dwayne:

I finished installing the L33/R116 combo a week 
ago on my K2 (ser 3640).  My recollection of the 
manual's instruction indicated that you could use 
electrical tape in lieu of the self adhesive 
insulating material.  Also, the material is to be 
installed onto the inside of the bottom case 
panel, not on to R116 itself.

I used strips of electrical tape myself, and that 
worked fine.  If you want to go with adhesive 
insulating material, I'm pretty sure II saw that 
stuff for sale in my local Radio Shack the other 
day, in their PC board parts area.  Be sure if 
you go with that, that it's thin enough so it 
won't really interfere (press down hard upon) 
L33/R116.

Good luck,
Paul
