[Elecraft] Two small KAT2 issues [K2]

I'm building a KAT2, which I haven't done for a while. I noticed two things:

1) The capacitor supplied for C60, 1000 pf, is way too fat to fit 
between J4 and the microprocessor socket. Either a smaller capacitor 
should be supplied (I used one from my junkbox) or it should be mounted 
on the bottom of the board.

2) The manual says to put the lockwasher between the board and the 
standoff when assembling the control board. But when attaching the LC 
board it says

"Secure the L–C board to the Control board standoffs using two 4-40 
screws and two #4 split lock washers. These lock washers go between the 
standoffs and the PC board, *not* between the PC board and screws as on 
the control board."

Well, which is it?
