[KAT500} Extra lockwasher in kit?

N7US
I'm almost finished assembling a KAT500, and I haven't found a step calling
for the lock washer, #4, interior tooth (P/N E700010).  Do any of you KAT500
assemblers remember having an extra?  The parts list says only one was
included in the miscellaneous bag.

73, Jim N7US

Jim,

If you had 2 (or more), then you can just keep the extra.  Hardware
items are weighed, not counted, so occasionally, you may find extras.

Of course, if you were short, that is a different matter and an email to
[hidden email] will have one to you in a few days.

Makes sense, Don, but this one is listed on the parts list but I don't see a
use for it.

In reply to this post by N7US
Ron,

I think you're referring to the KPA500, not the KAT500.  I'm sorry to have
confused you.

The KAT500 has only one on the parts list.

Jim:

All 29 #4 interior tooth lock washers are called for in the assembly
procedure. It sounds like you left one out somewhere.

Here's where they are used (looking at the Rev F4 Kit Assembly manual but I
believe the page and figure numbers have not changed for quite a while now)/

You got a total of 29 #4 interior tooth lock washers packaged in two bags,
one with 17 washers and one with 12 washers:

7 are used to mount the power supply on the bottom cover (Fig 11, page 14)

2 are used mounting the rear panel terminal strip (Fig 18, page 17)

8 are used to mount the RF INPUT and RF OUTPUT SO-239 connectors on the rear
panel (Fig 20, page 18).

2 are used to mount the Power Entry module on the rear panel (Fig 22, page
19).

7 are used to mount the rectifier board on the Z-bracket (Fig 29, page 23).

3 are used in the top cover interlock actuator (Fig 63, page 42).

I've had a couple of "extras" in nearly all the Elecraft kits I've
built, I think they do it on purpose with the very small hardware items
... easy to lose one.

But there's ONLY ONE in the entire kit, as the OP stated (above).
Presumably it has go to somewhere... but from a scan of the assembly
instructions, I can't find it either.
