[Elecraft] k2 assembly question

[David Woolley (E.L)]

Quote 1:
I don't know where you get 6mm from.  The spacers are 19mm long, and 
standard PCB thickness (~1.5mm) thick.  Two spacers on top of each other 
give 3mm.  I had no problem with that part of the instructions.  Note 
that the spacers are part of the final assembly.

Quote 2:
With the parts on my kit, both the diffuser and LCD leads went through 
the board.  However a newer batch (diffusers I think) had shorter leads. 
  The diffuser should NOT be 10mm above the board.

Quote 3:
The LCD goes over the diffuser.  The leads are long enough if the 
diffuser is installed properly.  The whole arrangement of LCD, diffuser 
and spacers should be clear from the diagrams.  The only complication 
that ever existed was the new batch with shorter leads.

(Use of Quote 1, 2, and 3 reflect the list policy of not permitting 
interleaved, reply below specific question, posting.)
