How did you arrive at the center vertical position in the rib? I ask
because I seem to remember rather distinctly Andy Draper telling me to put
the conduit low, but not so low as to make the bottom of the cut remove more
than "X" amount of rib above the lower wing's skin. (It's been a few years
and I didn't write it down, so my apologies for only having "X" as a
reference.) I don't have the wings here - and they're closed anyway - so
I'm unable to proffer much beyond this hazy recollection and the picture I
just downloaded to the Europa Forum.

SteveG,
I answered Brian off list, hope your back is feeling better. Love your site,
nothing like telling it like it is. The only thing I would say is to make
the
holes in the ribs as near to center as possible, in the vertical dimension.
Make a two ply patch 2x2 then drill your hole through that. I added my 2x2
patches later so you only see it in one or two photos. Where the hole has
to be
near the lower wing "floor " panel, I.E., the double rib. I reinforced the
inside of the rib with 4 plys of bid in the U shape.
