In case you missed it - here it is.

Kirk will HAVE to wait until he lays hands on a 45 or 55 before he can work on
the box.  Not just ANY 45 of course - the right one - carefully searched for,
evaluated, a couple of missing parts located, and then finally he’ll be able to
lay out the 45 and say ‘This is never going to fit that box - better get a 55’
