Has anyone drilled a hole in the forward wall of the right side gear tower  in line with the firewall hole shown in OP-35 to route the power wire from the  firewall-mounted battery into the avionics bay?  Seems like the most direct  route-straight aft under the F870B stiffener, into the gear tower, then up  through the upper tower sidewall hole.  I hesitate to drill additional  holes in the gear towers, but the existing one at the base of the tower and also  in bulkhead F866 aren’t ideally located for this purpose.  I’m planning to  use a VP-X for power distribution, so would probably only need to run a single  #8 or #10 gauge wire rather than a bundle.  Would still want a hole large  enough to take extra wires if necessary.  Other options?  Photos would  be greatly appreciated.  I have looked at installing the battery in the  baggage box well, but adding a mount to a QB fuselage seems like an unnecessary  complication.
