[Elecraft] Pelican Case

[wreese]

I am K6GC and my Elecraft K2/100 is S/N 838.

I've been shopping for a pelican case and the model 1400 is a close 
fit, but not for me since I have the KAT100 Velcro attached to the 
bottom (which makes it taller than the K2/100)

Anyway, I notice these cases come with a 3 pad "sandwich."  I'm 
wondering how to make the middle sandwich allow the proper cutouts 
for the VFO knob etc.  the KAT100 is more of a box and should be easier to fit.

Do any of you at the factory have any advice for me?  I would love to 
transport my K2/100/KAT100 in a safer manner than the canvass bag 
I've been using.
