I used silicone dabs on the lightening holes edges and also spiral wrap
on
the wires themselves.

Subject: RV9-List: Wiring Conduit
I am running the Van's corrugated plastic conduit for the wiring in my
wings. I plan to cut the tube out in the bay with the bell crank so I
can
locally route wiring for the nav and landing lights, heated pitot, etc.
My
question is: what are people are doing to protect the wires from rubbing
against the edge of the tubing and cutting them? Not only will I have
that
potential in the bell-crank bay, but also at the wing root and tip. Any
suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Doug,
If I understand your question correctly your asking what keeps the wires from wearing
away the corrugated plastic.
There really should not be any movement of the wires inside the plastic, the wires
will just be sitting there. It isn't as if the wires will be doing a sawing
or a rubbing back and forth movement. You could secure the wires at either end
to stop and movement that does occur from vibration I suppose.
The automotive and trucking industry use those plastic conduits to run wires in
and I have never seen wires cut holes in them or them cut holes in wires.
For an experiment take a piece of wire and rub it hard back and forth over some
of that conduit and see what it takes to rub through either.
Oh and Doug that was a good question. Don't put do not archive on the good ones.
