[Elecraft] KX1 battery holder screws too short!

[VK7JB]

I found the same in the KX1 kit I've just finished - they were way too short
to do the job any which way I tried. I finished by replacing them with
longer steel fittings and hex nuts. It made me wonder whether the screws in
my kit were the wrong spec, or whether the profile of the plastic battery
holders had changed. Either way, I found a fix that works. Took me a while
before I would believe that the supplied screws just weren't going to do it! 
A lot of fiddling and futile attempts at grinding down the nubs on the
holders.
