[Elecraft] RF Board K2 #5422 - Paneling?

[Fred (FL)]

Well I got thru K2 #5422 - Control Board, and
Front Panel pcb.  I've started the RF Board and
have finished installing items up to page 38 in
manual.  WOOOOOOOOOOOOW  Couple items are tacking
off course?

1.  K2 Manual Page 38 talks about installing "two (2)
2-D Fasteners Blocks" on each of the side panels,
in newly masking-tape-removed areas.  

    Then page 39 instructs to install these two (2)
side panels in place, "to the two (2) 2-D Fasteners"
that are already installed on the outside edges of
the RF Board?   Why did page 38 instruct to install
2-D Fasteners, which were already installed from
way back when in RF Board section?

2.  K2 Manual Page 39 then goes on to instruct
"installation of two (2) Oval Feet and Tilt Bail" onto
bottom cover.  BUT -- Tilt Bail is about 1/2" too
long,
when one screws in-place the Oval Feet at the 2
bottom cover locations.  I'm sure they don't want
me to attempt to bend the 3/16" metal Tilt Bail
inward by 1/2"?  Its a good 3/8 or 1/2" too long?

Have I gotten new version metal covers and old
version bails and 2-D fasteners?  Or possibly is
the Tilt Bail I got - actually for another Elecraft
radio, like a K1?

It seems odd to be installing, on page 38 and 39
side panels, bottome panels, and tilt bails at this
early construction stage of the RF BOARD?

HELP
.... the boards, soldering, and resistance checks
seems to be tracking right nice!  (PS PS PS - Digital
VM/MM works MUCH better!!! :)
