I am installing the wing lockers.  Is there enough space to route the pitot/static lines through the lighting holes with the aileron cables; and allow a good clearance?    I was thinking of drilling holes in the ribs and use gromets for protection.  any ideas

Yes, there is enough room in the lightening holes and yes holes and grommets is also a pretty good option.



I went thought the lightening holes and used quick ties between the ribs to the power wires that had gone though drilled holes in the ribs.

I haven't gotten that far yet. The wings are done and I'm on the fuselage. I just took the tubing that Zenith sent me and ran half for the pitot and half for the static. Looking at it it will probably be close and depend on how I have to route it. It won't surprise me if I have to add more somewhere in the cockpit.

I did the same thing, Gig.  However, In thinking it through, I decided that I would go ahead and plumb my pitot & static instruments and run the tubing under the top longeron to the skin panel that is right beside the pilot's seat.  I will make a hole in the skin large enough for both tubes.  When I attach the wings, I will make a connection just inside the fuselage.  It will be behind an upholstery panel so not vulnerable or in the way.

Sounds like a good idea Jay. I'll probably steal it.
