The L1082 cable is supposed to go through the hole in the aft bulkhead. Presumably so it can power the light on the rudder.
But the cable has a sort of bolus where the black wire is soldered to the white cable's shield. It's further layered by some shrink wrap. So it won't fit through the aft bulkhead's hole.
I tried squishing that bolus with some pliers, but all it did was shorten it one dimension by lengthening it in another. So I took the shrink wrap off and it fit through the hole with just a bit of coaxing (!).
As a sort of related aside, you can pull bushings out to fit things in later that wouldn't otherwise fit (the plans don't have you place the wiring in a good order, so sometimes you find yourself in a bit of a pickle).
