Bud's Law: All loose nuts and bolts always fall under the bench, in the
most inaccessible part of the flight controls or instrument panel, or
under that slight gap in the cockpit module you didn't fill or leave
access to.
As for the plug, argh.

Bud:
Thanks for the advice. Two good points - I too realised that it's
easier to insert with the plug and socket in the hand, but the b$%^&r
still won't align. and at the same time the flathead machine bolts
loosened and clattered to the cockpit floor and bounced into the
underseat locker.....like most of my events.
I believe I will follow your suggestion and insert the fast-ons singly
without the big plug - and perhaps rotate the regulator. It is cooled by
a small NACA dut built into the cowling roof but needs protection in
case of rain enroute I suppose. I guess I could smother the contacts
with ShoeGoo and cut them free later on if needed.
