[Elecraft] KPA100 Middle Side Screw Alteration

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Bob and all,

A special tool is not required with the inserts I specified.  They can be
turned into a hole with a bolt and a lock nut (2 jammed nuts will do).  Yes,
special insertion tools are available for high volume applications.

  Note that you also need a correct sized installation tool to install these
inserts.
  We successfully used larger versions of the threaded inserts to install GE
Mastr II radios inside the cab of GMC and similar pickup cabs used in
extreme environments.
