My avionics friend was out to see the aircraft a few weeks ago and in the
course of our discussion on pin squeezes he noted the cannon connectors will
not screw all the way on the aft side of the firewall.  We got out the plugs
and, sure enough, those on the inside of the cabin will not turn all the way
on.  The ones on the face of the firewall reach the detent, which is
noticable and serves to retain the plug.  Unfortunately, there will be some
disassembly required to incorporate a fix.  As yet we don't have one.  The
obvious solution is to cut away firewall material, in this case probably not
a good idea.  It is a shame the fast build firewall overlooked this.  It
seems many hours will be required to make things right unless someone out
there has already found a solution.  Any takers?
