[Elecraft] [K3] KRX3 mechanical alignment problem

[Toby Deinhardt]

Hi Eric,

in other words, the "offending" "nubs" can be filed off without any 
disadvantages? Right now they are causing a mismatch between the top and 
bottom part of the shielding - a small gap (ca. 1mm-2mm) because the 
"bumps" are pushing against the side wall.
