[Elecraft] K1: C67 Interferes With Mounting KNB1

Just finishing up a build for Tony, KE6JZF of a K1/KFL1-4/KAT1/KNB1
(#3195), and have found that the 2.2uF-50V electrolytic cap C67 (where
25V is called out in the Parts List) may be a bit too tall.
It doesn't seem to bother at C31, C54, or C10 on the NB board (all
50V). When it came time to bolt the NB to the RF board, C67 was in the
way. After trying to gently re-wet the leads and lean it over U2, I
wound up wrapping a little wire around the (too-short) leads and
mounting it on its side under the board (which seems to fit OK.)
Anybody seen a better fix for this physical interference fit? Final
flux wash is the next step, unless I hear better news.
