[Elecraft] problem installing k-line side panels

[David F. Reed]

Sorry to hit both Elecraft and Elecraft_K3 lists, but I do so in hopes 
of finding the right person for some help.

I just received my K3 & P3 Gemsproducts side panels; they look quite 
nice.  I decided to start the installation with the K3 right side panel 
first.  I have run into a problem here installing it (the right side 
panel); there are two transistors that use the panel as a heat sink; I 
cannot think of a way to get the nuts and lock washers to stay in place 
while re-assembling the unit.  Do you have any suggestions?  Having a 
factory built K3, I have no idea how they accomplished that in the first 
place, nor whether it might work in this case.

I have emailed Gemsproducts concerning this, but am turning to the lists 
in case anyone has solved this already while I am waiting for a reply.

Thanks and 73 de Dave, W5SV
