I would like to run some wires and pitot lines from in front of the spar to behind the spar. What do you think about drilling a hole where I put the arrow, putting in a grommet, and running the stuff through?

Your best bet would b e to come through a lightening hole further out and come through the ribs af t of the fuel tank. Best bet would be to ask Caleb at the factory.

Any extra holes will weaken the spar. This look close to the wing attachment point. I would keep as much of the integrity here as possible.
