[Elecraft] K2 new kit question

[Don Wilhelm]

James,

It is not  likely to be a problem, but check any that are on the 
bottom.  If they are too high to clear the bottom cover, just bend  them 
over a bit.  Replace the ones with the cracked bodies.

So I replaced them and installed all of them without straightening the legs. That of course put them a bit tall on the board. The manual states to install all components as close to the board as possible, to avoid stray RF coupling on the board.
