K3 Headphone Jack

[Barry Simpson]

I am progressing quite well with my assembly but I have just come across the
headphone jack loose washer issue. Is there a recognised cure. Can you leave
the washer out altogether or do you need another nut or washer to make it
tighter.

 

Any help would be appreciated before I move on to the next stage.

 

Thanks

Barry, I used a "trim" washer (very thin) from a spare headphone jack I had laying around to fill the gap.  As I recall it was about 0.018" thick and was perfect.  The knurled nut tightened down without deforming the front panel at all.
