I'm working on Rv-8 wings purchased mid-project, it was the previous owners second build and most work is high quality.
As I get into the wings, I've found that he had drilled the ribs for conduit routing in the upper fwd corner near the spar. Hole size is .8125". I've seen the wire routing recommendations from Van's, but I've also seen it located here on other builds. Anyone have any experience as to what the best course is from here?
1. Use as-is. Strength issues? Fuselage interference issues where it exits the wing?
2. Repair and relocate to recommended location. Not sure if there is room for a proper repair/doubler in this location.
3. Replace. Nothing is riveted yet, so this is an easy option, but rather costly.
Thanks for any thoughts.
