I need to run several wires to the Nav and Strobe lights which are installed
at the trailing edge of the rudder.. I thought ahead and built in a conduit
before closing the rudder. Now I am wondering if I need to install some sort
of connector at the leading edge of the rudder to facilitate rudder removal
at some point in the future. There are connectors in the Nav/Strobe light
housing to allow removal of the light assembly, but if I need to remove the
rudder (and I'm not sure that will ever be necessary) then I'd have to cut
the wires as they exit the vertical stab spar. I could then splice them back
together, but that seems like the wrong thing to do. It also seems like
unnecessary extra work to add connectors that might never be used.
Suggestions and ideas to solve this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug
