[Elecraft] [KX3][2M] Assembly Advice - Going Nuts!

[Steve]

Hot melt glue might be more forgiving (glue on the threads) or double 
sided tape with a punched hole for the screw.
When I built Heath Kits and "real work" I would use tape on my finger so 
that I could hold the nuts in place while I attached the screw...

That said, you could probably re-glue the nut in place temporarily using a tiny bit of epoxy, avoiding the threads. Once the TO220 device tab is secured by the screw, the adhesive no longer serves any function.

On this particular unit, the nut that I guess was being held on by some adhesive I never noticed, fell off the back of the FET heat sink.   I’m having a stickler of a time trying to figure out a clever way to hold the nut on there so I can re-insert the board and get the lock screw through the side of the case.  (Figure 20, Page 27)
