For planning purposes, I ordered the conduit right after receiving the wing
kit. All the rib conduit holes were done on the drill press before
assembling the wing skeletons. The conduit was installed, with the split
down to drain any possible condensation, after the top skins were riveted
on. The conduit upper forward location keeps it out of the way when
installing the bottom skins.

Try attaching a small aluminum J-shaped clips to the ribs, with the hook
aligned with the edge of the lightening hole. You can then run the conduit
down through the lightening holes and use zip-ties to attach the conduit to
the J portion of the clip. Dap some proseal or aluminum-safe RTV to the
conduit and rib. You can skip some of the closely spaced inboard ribs. You
only have to drill small holes for rivets or pop-rivets to attach the J-clip
rather than the 3/4 inch holes in all of the ribs.
