[Elecraft] power amp mounting of Q7 and Q8

[John Wiener]

Man, I'm having a devil of a time mounting Q7 and Q8 on the sink.   
The screws seem too short...I only get a mm or less clearance to  
place a lock washer and nut.

Did anyone else have this problem?  I am aware of the need for the  
shoulder of the washer to be within the transistor's hole.  Even if  
this is not so and is then corrected, it still adds insufficient  
clearance for a lock washer and nut.

Do I have the wrong screws?  They are silver and measure 1/2 inch.   
There are no screws with the kit that are longer.

Boy, this is the first time I felt that the design of the kit is not  
first-rate.

very frustrating!
