To all

Someone posted a message about the 26 pin plugs on the Lancair IV firewall 
not engaging fully on the backside of the fast build firewall.  I checked 
mine, I am just now starting my wiring, and found that the Nubs (bumps for 
gripping) on the plug were interfering with the 6-32 lock nuts that hold the 
plug to the firewall.  I ground off the Nubs about half way back from the 
surface that meets the firewall which left enough to grip but eliminated the 
interference.  The plugs now fully engage.  My firewall is not a fast build 
so it may not be as thick as the fast build molded firewall.  If this doesn't 
solve the problem, it appears that about .03 inch of the plug face can be 
removed without getting into the tabs that follow the threads on the part of 
the plug mounted to the firewall.
