Hi Don,
I guess my mistake was assuming the same steel washer was used.  I just 
looked it up in the new manual and I see they have been replaced by 
fiber washers.  The same fiber washers that are used to mount the speaker.

Since I thought that only the phenolic spacer was different, and since 
Elecraft didn't have a kit, just ordered the shoulder washers and 
phenolic spacers.  I just looked at the fiber washers under the speaker 
and they are partially compressed, but I will micrometer their 
uncompressed parts and try to get them at Ace Hardware.  I notice that 
these washers are not used in the 150 W tuner or 100 W amp kits 
otherwise I could swap them out with those, which I haven't yet finished 
building yet.

If Ace doesn't have the fiber washers I will place another Elecraft 
order as this sweet a radio deserves to have all the parts correct.  I 
was playing with the new KDSP2 last nite and wow!

Thanks,
Steve
