Steve,

Couldn't get on your site to see the backplane pictures.  If you could
email them to me I will take a look and tell you if our soldering
equipment can do it.  Without seeing the pictures I don't know If we can
work around the wire wrap posts or not.  As long as the leads are less
than 1.75" there shouldn't be any problem in that area.
