I’m forwarding a message from the Lancair ES group concerning an AN fitting from Wicks that was missing the hole.  Luckily they caught it before it caused any engine damage.  Just thought that a head’s up might help someone down the road.

A guy at my airport ordered one of the restrictor fittings from Wicks.  It arrived with no hole!  We were blowing it out before installing it and noticed.  We drilled a hole and called Wicks to let them know.  Imagine starting the engine the first time and not getting oil pressure, Yikes!  You could chase that problem for a week before anyone discovered the problem with the fitting.
