Well, if you put the bolt in first (which you'd kind of have to do, if going
from front to back, with the adapter already mounted to the KY11-L), you'd
have to hold it in place while you offer the KY11-L up to the BA11-K. Which
was why I was originally thinking, put the bolt in in the other direction,
which you can do after you put the KY11-L+adapter in place.

But that brings up another idea: put the bolt in place (on the adapter), use
a first (thin) nut (with washer, if necessary) to hold it in place, then bolt
the adapter to the KY11-L bezel, then mount the whole works up to the BA11-K.

Not sure which would work better. I'd probably go with the 'pointing forward'
bolt, and use a lock-washer (or one of those nuts with integral lock-washer),
and then you can mostly tighten with a Phillips driver from the rear. But the
extra washer might be easier to put together (if it doesn't push the KY11-L
bezel too far forward).
