I am working on the left wing and am to the point where I need to drill the holes for the snap bushings for pulling wires. I want to do this BEFORE I put the ribs on the spar to rivet. The question is, what size bushings do I need? I have HID landing light wires all the way to the end, I will have heated pitot tube wires to where the pitot tube mounts (I know that Tim mounted his a bit further out, I will have wires running to the Trutrak servos....... 

How big a bushing did you need to start?

Did you mount the HID landing light wires through the same bushing?

what about the ones for the pitot tube heat?



Curious what solutions were used.

I used conduit and no bushings. Sorry I do not remember the whole size.  I

think it is in the Archives.

Plastic water pipe (not PVC) from the aviation department at Lowes.  Light and tough.  3/4" hole.   The pipe is big enough for all the runs you listed, and a coax line for a wing tip NAV antenna.

I used SB625-7 in ribs 1-11. I used SB500-6 in ribs 12-15. Once I dropped roll servo wiring in right wing and pitot heat/stall warning wiring in left wing, size can be reduced. I have DW hid's and Whelen strobes. I can barely hear hid's start up at idle and no noise after 15 seconds. No noise heard from strobes unless engine is off. No noise from anything else. Yes, I used airframe ground for everything.  All my wires bundled tight with wire ties and no condiut. I did not want wires vibrating inside of flammable plastic tubing or not having cooling air across wire bundle. Wires are insulated with Tefzel for a reason. I installed one spare 18 ga wire per wing. We have removable wing root fairings, tips and insp panels in case I need to run a new wire.
