Default Vertical stab question please!

I'm ready right now to rivet on the rear spar on the 9a vert stab. The last sentence in the instructions tell me to make sure I provide for wiring runs for a light (if desired) before riveting the rear stab on.

I posed a question a month or so ago and folks said not to worry about ordering lights now. I guess I should have asked if I need to do anything about FUTURE lighting considerations.

HELP. Do I need to run any conduit or string before riveting on the rear spar? If so since I have no idea which lighting system I want, how should I provide for access for wiring?

Thanks

Default There's a thread somewhere on this topic

I ran into this problem a few weeks ago. I was thinking I'd add a camera on top of the VS someday, so I wanted to run wire. I "had" decided on Home Depot conduit and actually cut the piece for the job. However, the weight of the conduit was significant compared to the VS itself.

Instead, I elected to just use grommets. I placed a wire in there for a pull thru, but will probably replace that later.
