I purchased a kit that the owner had done the 2 day build seminar with. Consequently, the rudder and elevator were complete when I purchased the kit. 

  The elevator trim motor has no holes to run the wires into the fuse. I really don't want to re-open the elevator and was wondering if I could rivet some wire fasteners near the elevator hinge doubler. Another thought was to glue the wire to the doubler with heat-wax gun. 

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Don

Just did mine by putting in 3 x rivnuts into the elevator spar below the hinge  and then using Adel clamps.It then fits nicely under the stab with another clamp on the down stop. Hope that helps

Don-

    Yes. They come in different sizes. I just happen to have a bag of 1/4" 

in front of me and they're part number MS21919-WDG4.

                                                                             

                    Bill

And don't worry about getting to many. You will use them a lot when doing the wiring and maybe in a few places without wiring.
