[Elecraft] K2 build question - stem bumper on L33

[KC8YFH]

Hi all,

Slowly but surely K2 #6773 is coming together.  I've noticed that the stem bumper included for the L33 toroid actually protrudes through the middle a small distance.  This will elevate R116 above the toroid, which is not what the instructions (page 61, first column, first instruction) suggest.  I'm  a bit worried about R116 atop the stem bumper being taller than the standoffs to the bottom of the case and thus getting mashed when the case is assembled.

I could cut the center of the stem bumper to shorten it, but that seems drastic...  Any ideas?

Thanks
