...or a "maggie button / maggie bottom" One of the more useful tools in 
my tool drawer; excellent suggestion! ...just remember if using the 
stainless screw kit...some stainless steels are either non- or 
weakly-magnetic. I built a K2/100/SSB + ATU from scratch a couple of 
years ago as therapy for peripheral neuropathy. Without the maggie 
whatzit, it could have been exceedingly frustrating, even though the 
panels all fit and the holes all match perfectly, which is more than one 
can say of some kits.
