Have .002, .003 and .005, but feel confident using the .001

I'm thinking I might have miss communicated which pins get cut. Only pins 1, 2, 27, and 28 are cut. From what I can see in the posted pic, pin 26 appears cut?

The (Zero Insertion Force) ZIF sockets with a lever are the SUPERIOR design for holding a chip, and the only ZIF socket I would ever consider using in an ECM!

I'm thinking that 0.001" thickness is adequate for the 27SF512 conversion. I would use some electrical tape to insulate the bass from the ECM circuit board.
