Ed,

I recently plugged all my holes in the cockpit closeout rib.  For the
aileron and flap tubes, I found some rubber accordion style sleeves 
Skycraft in Orlando ) that I cut to fit over the tubes and secured them
to the cockpit closeout rib on the cockpit side using silicone.  I
used some neoprene from a wet suit to closeout the hole where in
inboard gear door cylinder penetrates the rib.  I cut a circular patch
and put a slit in the middle to allow the cylinder to move in and out. 
It works great.  In retrospect, I would use the wet suit material for
all the holes.

If you're not sealing off the holes, your probably getting a good dose
of carbon monoxide while taxing.  I got a little light headed after a
short flight during my first 10 hours of flying.  That was it, I closed
off all the holes in the cockpit closeout rib and haven't had any problems
since.  I also purchased one of the CO monitors from Walmart and have
it sitting on the floor in the cabin next to my feet.  However, I need to
wire a remote light of the CO meter since you can't hear or see any alarms
going off with it sitting on the floor.
