In my contuned quest to find the oddest problem in an airplane build.....
GTR-200/intercom harness built by a reputable avionics company. Installing headset jacks in the panel, 0.063" aluminum with veneer, total 0.100" thick. Washers total 0.021" but when I mount the jack I barely get 1/2 turn on the jack.
The easiest way would be to grind down the back of the panel, but just wanted to see if you had any other ideas, like are there longer jacks available?
Yes, there is a metal washer between the nut and the fiber washer , just not pictured. You can see it on the mic jack.
Thanks,
