Dear Listers,
The percentage of members making a Contribution to support the Lists this year
is currently behind last year by at this time by roughly 22%. Please take this
opportunity to show your support for the Matronics Lists and Forums!
Please remember that it is *solely* your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
and Forums up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members
don't want to support the Lists directly, then I might have to add advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I don't want to have to do
that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot
of the members appreciate that too.

When running conduit through lightening holes (generally much bigger than the conduit
diameter), what have people used to secure it? RTV? Make brackets and
clamps? Just leave them free to flop?

I would not let them flop. I used 1/2" Sched. 40 (thin wall) PVC pipe
and plastic 'hangars' made to hold the pipe under a ceiling joist ...
picture the pipe clamp with vertical 'ears'. I riveted the pipe hangar
to the side of the larger lightening hole. The plastic clamp has to be
spread out to fit around the PVC pipe .... I tried the ribbed plastic
conduit and just couldn't make it work for me .... all of it ended up in
the recycle bin ..... and the smooth PVC pipe makes running more wires
really easy.

I drilled two opposing holes across the lightening hole and used safety wire to
trap the conduit in the center. Just did enough ribs to keep it reasonably secure.

If you use the black conduit from Van's, just enlarge the small hole in the rib
to 3/4" and th conduit will stay in place just fine. Much easier than attempting
to secure it in the lightening holes.

If you are talking about the lighting holes in the side fuselage, you can
get a rubber grommet that fits it just right - and the ID provides a good
friction fit for the conduit (I got mine from Stein Air
http://www.steinair.com/store.cfm?tlcatid=14 ). For under the rear floor I
make a strap. For new holes, as Bob says make the hole small enough to be a
friction fit for the conduit. Do not make the turns too tight so you can
use a string to run wires.
I ran three conduits on each side and ended up filling five of them.

I used a small piece of angle riveted to the rib, then used an Adel clamp to clamp
the conduit to the angle.

I think I got this from Vans.
Small hole in the rib and a wire tie to hold the conduit down.

Try Googling "cable tie bulkhead hole mount"
Specifically it turned up something called a "Panduit LHMS-xnn-xnn". I
used a couple dozen of something very similar to support both conduit
and insulated wire bundles going thru lightening holes. Very handy item
The challenge is finding someone who sells it in small quantities. I
used to use TerminalTown.com but they seem to have closed up shop.
