Wiring past the spar

Lots of ways to do this; however, anyone go through the spare web? Seems like some good candidate locations. Yes I'm aware of the consequences if the wings need to be pulled.

Please share your approach here. Much appreciated.
 
The RV-4 has room to do so at the stick torque tube pass through. I'm thinking the Rocket would have identical set up. I made sure the wire harness is secured on either side to prevent fowling of the torque tube, and there is plenty of room. No need to engineer additional cut-outs in the spar web.

Did the same as Bill on my 4. Not a Rocket but the same control setup,. Room to run wires on both sides of the torque tube and secure them so they stay clear without having to deal with the spar.
 
Me three - through the torque tube access hole, and secured into the corners. Of course, my wings aren’t on yet, so we’ll hope I measured correctly…..
 
Thanks to all. I figured so much but it just seems off to me for unknown reasons.

Thanks again
