Due to poor planning on my part I finished my Wing Kit before finalizing my panel plans and am now going back to replace the OEM pitot tube (bent aluminum tubing) with Garmin's GAP 26 Pitot/AoA probe which I've installed in the bay just outboard of the aileron bellcrank in the left wing.
Looks pretty simple to use the 3/8" snap bushings from the OEM tubing to lead the wires from the heater elements back to the wing root, but I haven't decided how to best route the twin tubes for the pitot and AoA.
Thinking about busting out the step drill and cutting some new systems holes in the ribs for some 3/4" snap bushings, but getting to those 3 innermost ribs doesn't look like it'll be very easy with the step drill.
Any suggestions will be welcome as to how to best address this issue.
Also, what is the best flush type filler/plug to close up the 7/16" or 1/2" hole in the skin where I'm removing the OEM bulkhead fitting?
Thanks for any suggestions.
