Hello,

I just finished successfully to build a MP5.12. Everything works fine soundwise- it sounds great. But I am not able to insert the SK25 to a point where it sits tight in the socket. I expected to be able to insert it to a point where it snaps in, but this is not possible. It is a bit loose and I have the feeling that it could move out of the socket if I transport my lunchbox. Is this normal? 

Thanks and best regards
Leo

The tightening is usually enough to hold the DOA, but if you are unsure you can add a small piece of insulating material between the spacer and the top cover

Hello JPX,

thanks for your reply and the tip. That´s what I already did. I just wanted to make shure that it is normal and not because I did not destroy something inside the sockets which too much heat.
That said: I want too say thanks for your really great designed and well documented kits!
