[Elecraft] (K3) Assembly (again) Front head

[Josh Fiden]

I had the identical issue. After verifying that all other hardware was 
correct and connectors mated fully, I added an additional thin lock 
washer on the jack behind the panel to take up the space. I'm sure it 
wasn't necessary, but the little gap bugged me.

Even with the knurled nut screwed on the front, the flat washer is still loose - is that right??
