I got the idea to use PVC from other builders.  It's easy to push wires through PVC. 
 
Here's where I cut the hole.

The location works out great as it will put the PVC just below the aft edge of the wing access panels.  The access panel is not obstructed, and the conduit is right there to pluck wires from for pitot or autopilot. 
Here's a shot of the PVC in the wing.

other notes:
- I put the conduit in place before riveting the skins and it posed no added measure of difficulty while riveting.
- I put some blue RTV at all the PVC+Rib intersections to avoid any potential vibration or movement issues.

Subject: PVC-tube in the wings?
     
      Hi builders!
     
      Thanks for the inputs on the flap hinge! I'll go for the split-pin metod then!
     
      Another one:
      I'm thinking towards intstalling wires in the wings also, and saw a builder on
      the net who'd installed a small PVC-tube in the wings.
      It made room for several wires (landing light, posn light, antenna etc)
     
      Anyone else have done this?
      It seems to me like a good idea??
      Specially if I also put a light line in there so I can replace or add thing later.
     
      Thoughts anyone??
     
      Best regards Alf Olav Frog / Norway
