Default Lanier Edge 540T - PROBLEM SOLVED

So far the "construction" of my E540T ARF has been a no-brainer but I encountered a weird situation with the aft fuselage bulkhead:
The hole in the rear most bulkhead the rudder pull-pull cables are supposed to go thru is too small in diameter. Because of this it displaced the rudder cables upward and slightly toward the centerline. They rubbed on the inside of the hole and each cable essentially did *not* have a straight shot at the rudder servo arm. Also, the upward displacement of the rudder cables interferred with the RH side (aft-mounted) elevator servo.
I ended up carefully punching out the bottom portion of the bulkhead to get the cables to route/work correctly and keep them from interferring with the RH elevator servo.
Has anybody else encountered this situation and what did you do about it? TIA
