13k is not standard in the bag of SMT resistors I have here ;-) so in
the 3 K3's I have carried this mod out in so far I used 1K and 12k in
series.
SMT allows this to be done relatively neatly by standing off each
resistor at approximately 45 degrees from the pad, touching in the
middle. then solder 

Takes a bit of fiddling around but it can be done
