To many this could sound like a stupid question.
I am trying to finish up most of my wiring before I permanently attach the
baggage floors.
What I was trying to do was to have all my strobe wire bundles, both the
right wing and the left wing bundles run down the same side of my fuselage.
I've chosen the left side for them to go back to the battery compartment.
Question: I realize the strobe wire bundle will be eminating out of each
wing root aft of the main spar and infront of the rear spar attatchment
connector. Can the strobe wire bundle go from this aft location forward to
infront of the main spar(is there a any room in the large diameter hole that
is in the main spar which eminates out of the wing root) or is this hole's
space taken up with the control mechanism for the ailerons? Yes we have
gone over the ideas of gasoline and electrical runs. I was going to keep all
connectors away from fumes and gasoline.
OR
Should I simply put a hole in the fuselage skin, (obviously inside the wing
root fairing area) aft of the main spar and infront of the rear spar
connector? Then run the right wing wire bundle up and then across beneath
the seats over to the left side and back to the battery compartment.
I guess I was trying to not drill any holes in the fuselage skin, but I bet
the two existing holes that Van's has in the fuselage infront of the main
spar will be filled completely with aileron pushrods and fuel lines going
out of the tanks and return lines going back to the tank.
Thanks ahead of time.

Unless I am mistaken, the skins have a pilot hole in them that you are
supposed to drill out for wiring runs aft of the spar. That is where we do
all of our wiring. Then I would recommend running the wire that crosses the
fuse in the area where the flap control rod runs, drilling a small hole in
each panel and putting a snap bushing in them. That is also a good way to
get the flap wires from the side to the flap motor while keeping them as far
from the bellcranks and controls as possible. Another place is to run them
across the fuse between the two center sections, which is a place where
there is nothing moving except the pushrods right in the center, but it is
easy to keep the wires away from that. The wires can be supported on the
spacers that go on the long AN3 bolts that hold the main gear supports to
both the front and the back center section.

Thanks Jesse
I used the center section of the spar in the fuse to cross over. I didn't
see any pilot hole in the fuse side so I measures the bushing on the wing
root and transferred that to the fuse.
Sometimes I have to get over the idea that Van's doesn't always tell you
where to drill and sometimes they don't mark it out for you. Got to get
over the fear of cutting virgin metal.
Thanks for responding.

John,
I put my strobe power supply to the right of the battery and ran the wires
to the wing as far as possible from the other wiring to avoid the noise the
strobe pulses can put off. I ran the wires 2 bays to the left and the right
of center and then out thru holes near the flaps. I ran the strobe wires
separately through the trailing edge of the wing.
I have attached some photos. The one of the fuse outside shows where the
strobe wire exits - a little hard to see..
