Mounting the Battery Holders in the KX-1






Building up my second KX-1 (this one for KG6SPV) I came (again) across the little screws holding the battery holders to the aluminum case back, instantly stripping out, no matter how carefully I tried to put them in. First, I tried longer screws (2-56x3/16")and small-pattern nuts, with some blue threadlocker on the nuts outside the case, but it wasn't really elegant, as befits an Elecraft build.
