Good Day All,

I'm working on my wiring layout and I have a little question for those  
before me. I have come across a couple of terminal boards that are designed to

plug into perforated boards. The pins extend straight down from the terminal  
board approx. 5/8" (15mm) from it's underside. Does anyone see any problem with

me drilling two series of seven small holes in a line and then  backfilling 
with heat resistant sealer? I could then solder the connections on  the engine

side going to the oil temp and pressure, CHT's, EGT, ammeter, warning  light, 
starter switch, etc. In order to remove the panel I would simply unscrew  from

the terminal boards. 
This would save from having to cut a large hole for a round bulkhead  
connector...not to mention the expense.
