[Elecraft] problem installing k-line side panels

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

You can download the assembly manual from the Elecraft website.  Look around pp 50-52 for right side panel installation.

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.
