[Elecraft] KPA500 Assembly Question

[Bob Wolbert]

Dave,

Your amp kit was shipped quite a while ago... At that time, Elecraft was 
in the process of converting from 4-40 x 5/16" black flathead machine 
screws to 1/4" for attaching the Z-bracket and left side panel to the 
heat sink.

If you don't have enough 5/16", you should have extra 1/4". Perhaps in 
the "Hardware Spares" bag. If not, please reply to me and I'll have them 
shipped to you.

Regards,

Bob Wolbert

I found two in the spares bag and two installed in the AC fuse block.  Checked everything else.  Stephanie either missed it totally or the manual is incorrect.  Up to this point she has been spot on.
