Would appreciate input on Rib Mutilation.

Have some thin wall, bout 1 inch OD Irrigation tube that I want to run in wing
to plumb wires to tip and run static/airspeed hose through and stall warning 
indicator
hoses/wires..

I can cut a 1 inch hole and just let the plastic tube lay on the ribs.

Or can put a few dabs of silicone at the joint.

Also have some perfect fitting grommets, but that would require cutting a larger
hole by probably 1/8 inch.

Would it be recommended to reinforce rib, lets say with a BID Patch prior to 
cutting
hole, especial if using grommets?


Thx.
