Figured it would be an easier installation, easier to add stuff later, and didn't require making nice 3/4 inch holes. I've got two of them in each rib to be sure I'll have enough capacity for whatever I decide to run. Plus my RV7A neighbor did the same thing. We both now have 50 feet of conduit sitting around. If you leave near me come by and I'll give you mine.

You can put the supplied bushing in the hole and this stuff slides easily (with a little lubrication) through the bushing. Double protection and light weight.

AL flashing from the bldg supply rolled into a tube & 'glued' in the holes Same thing out of plastic sheet Ripstop nylon sewn into a tube The goal for me is minimum weight & maximizing space in the conduit for wires. The electrical & fiber conduit I've been able to find is fairly thick & quite a bit heavier than any of the above will be but will be a lot less work. Grommets by themselves will allow the wire to move a bit more & probably rub on either the skin or spar. Might be a wear issue after a few thousand hours of flying.
