[Elecraft] K1 missing parts - is this to be expected?

[Don]

Those little thermal insulators are probably in a small paper envelope.  I 
paniced when I couldn't find mine but only for a few minutes.  The little 
envelope was taped to the inside cover of the manual I think.  The 
insulators are tiny thin things that peel away from a backing (like license 
plate tabs) but are oh so small and flimsy and are semi-invisible even when 
staring directly at them...they look like a small piece of scrap paper in 
the envelope.

The extra parts are probably there in case you are installing one of the 
options later .. the manual will explain when you get to the end and it 
tells you that you *should* have some left over parts.

I was missing 2 or 3 parts from my kit.  They were in my mailbox two days 
after my email telling Elecraft about them.
