 >>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.<<

It seems that if you have the ability to disconnect the wires from the 
light housings within the rudder why couldn't you just leave the wires 
intact at the stab spar and pull them out of your conduit if the need to 
remove the rudder ever arises.  When you reinstall the rudder you just pull 
them back through the conduit and re-terminate them at the housings.  Upon 
removeal you'd use the wires to pull a string through the conduit that you 
could then use as the fish-line to restore them when you put it back 
together.  At least then you wouldn't have to deal with plugs or inline 
splices.  Just my $0.02.
