I’m working on the fuselage side skins and it says to enlarge the wire run hole to the wings and install grommets that can be purchased from Van’s, but are not included in the kit.  This is section 29-15.  

   

Can anyone make a recommendation what size hole and grommet part number works for this?  I plan on installing Duckworks, Archers, LED indicators, strobes,  etc.  Basically the works.  Do I run all electrical, coax, pitot, etc. through this hole?  

   

Thanks and have fun in OSH everyone.

Those grommets could be any size based on the builder.  One bit of

advice...you're probably going to want some grommets of various

sizes as you get further along.  You may want to purchase a

bunch with a little variety.  I had to buy many extra for those

lightening holes in the vertical thin bulkheads on the fuselage

side below the door for wire passthroughs.   Stein has lots

of grommets, and ACS has even more sizes.  It's probably not too

critical to size the one you're worried about with tons

of accuracy.   You can always use RTV to keep it sealed later

if needed.   What I did for sizing some is to just cut little 3"

pieces of wire and when I knew I had all the sizes and quantities

that I'd need, I stuffed them through a grommet/conduit/hole

and tried it out.   I dont' know if I put my pitot tube in the

same hole....I think I ran that separately just due to where

it wanted to come through.



I know that's not a real answer, just a theory, but it may help.

There's going to be a lot of improvising in the remaining steps

of the project.
