Jeff,
We use a small diameter nylon fairlead made from Nylaflow or Nylow Seal
tubing bonded to the bulkhead. Don't forget to use firewall material on the
bulkhead and tunnel sides. A good product is the "Firewall 2000" kit sold
in Aircraft Spruce. Sorry do not have the part number at hand but "fwkit"
Sounds somewhat familiar.

Bob,
That makes sense. How do you handle the rudder cables, through the
bulkhead?
