AXE1 assembly problem

[Mike Parkes]

I am just getting around to using the AXE1 and find it is impossible to
screw the extender into the ax1 base ( and I pushed in as hard as I could
while trying to get the threads to connect). It looks to me like a plastic
wrapping around the base of the AXE1 sticks out too far preventing the
threads from reaching. This plastic extension on the axe1 extends out abt
7mm on one side from the base (this plastic part was cut at an angle, 5mm
on one side and 7mm the other.) Should I try and trim this part or send it
back to elecraft?

Thanks to all who replied on this issue. As it turned out the missing part
somehow ended up on the bottom of the whip, instead of inside the base on
the AXE1. Elecraft customer support was also very helpful and replied
shortly after I sent my support question email. Thank you Rob at Elecraft
for your help on that!
