Vlad,
I put mine in from the top on the 9A so it was a non-issue. When I converted to the 9, I eliminated the upper fairing (intersection is now a piece of rubber like the wing root) so had to put the pin in from the bottom. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the leg fairing, put a nutplate on a piece of hinge, put the hinge on the bent part of the pin, and screw a #6 screw into the nutplate through the fairing. A bit more complicated than the simple safety wire. And in either case, it is hidden by the lower intersection fairing.
