I am wiring the tail light and find that there are no holes for a grommet thru the bulkhead. Are we drill the bulkhead? or are there other thoughts... Thanks Craig

I drilled a hole for the wires and installed pastic grommets.  Having just rewired the tail strobelight I would probably go with a very lightweight plastic conduit through the large lightening holes next time to make future changes much easier.

Thanks, I to think that lightweight conduit is the way to go. I'm using that in my wings also. Craig

Where did you drill the hole and how large?

Along the bottom, offset to the side from the holes for the rudder cables.  I think they were1/2" but not sure.  Just large enough to run the wires for the lights.  Again, I would recommend the very thin walled PVC pipe or similar down the lightening holes if I were to do it again.  I used that in the wings and was glad I did.

I drilled approx 5/16" hole on lower lh side. Outside of vs mounting area so that it could be inst/removed w/o pulling wires. Sanded hole with 320 grit and installed heat shrink at pass thru for extra protection.

I drilled a hole through F1012B that passed through the very top of F1012E, just below F1056. I found a grommet that would hold the wire, and drilled accordingly. Also heat shrunk the wire to make sure, since it's pretty thick there.
