Jimmy:
There's truly NO REASON to let the bail 'buffalo' you into not installing it.
While it is a bit more tedious to accomplish, it should certainly NOT
keep you from installing and using it.
Did you read my recent post regarding using slightly longer screws
for the initial installation and then replacing them, one at a time,
once the bail and feet are securely installed? It's NOT difficult to
accomplish. If you didn't read the post, I can re-send (or re-type if
necessary) it.
There are other methods available as well.

I'm glad to see this item being discussed. I've had my K-2 for about
a year and I've never completed the bale assembly step. I wrote to
Elecraft to report my bale part as defective because it didn't fit
anywhere near like what I was expecting. I was told in return by
Elecraft that the bale sent to me was a correct part and
acknowledged that the bale assembly is difficult. I haven't touched
my bale since. Anyone want to buy an unused bale?
