i think a good grommet can be made with the proper thickness and
diameter of rubber gas or oil hose. a slit around the piece with a razor
will allow it to be locked into place. a wire tie around the wire on
each side of the ''grommet'' will hold it in place in some cases.
i used a truck heater hose of 1 1/4'' outside diameter to feed spark
plug wires into my pressure plenum and wire ties to hold it in place. i
had grommets but the heater hose set up is way tougher.
i understand you need an inside diameter of about 1/16''.

>From John at Kitfox:
"It will most likely hit the cross tube I have done the same thing.. if you run
the wires tight against the stick as it comes out of the grommet you might get
away with leaving it just like it is. Again that is what I did."
It's not like I'm ready to go flying tomorrow. I'll do what John says and if at
final rigging it's an issue, I'll resolve it then.

A lot of hardware stores have drawers full of grommets of various sizes.
I visit the local ACE Hardware frequently for stuff like that.

Finally after 3 1/2 years my Model five flew today!
A short uneventful flight, now I can get down to some serious flying.
