Just tried installing the K2 display backlight as per the errata sheet.

The legs on mine are too short to go through the PCB holes.  Once the two 
spacers are in place, the legs are exactly long enough to just touch the 
front of the PCB.

Looking at the photos of the backlight on the builders resources webpage,

Q2. How did you get round it?
Q3. Is mine just an odd-ball :)
