Screws
A number of different types and sizes of screws and washers are used in the assembly. It is very important that
you use the screw specified in each location or your finished KX3 may not fit together properly. In some places,
using the wrong size screw may damage components. The following various screw types and sizes specified in
the text are shown in Figure 2. Images are shown for comparing relative sizes. Due to the printing process used,
they may not be exactly to scale. The lengths of the screws called for in the text are measured as shown.

Standoffs
A number of threaded standoffs are used. As with the screws and washers, be sure you use the correct size as
specified in the text. Standoff lengths are measured as shown in Figure 3. Standoffs with 2-56 and 4-40 threads
are used in the kit.
