Subject: ANOTHER IV Fuel probe question!

I'm about to install my extended tank fuel probes and decide how far out
the fuel will go.  

As we all know, the manual describes an extended fuel mod that includes
the installation of a rib at BL165.  It doesn't seem to address the hole
that must be cut in BL171 to insert the probe!  If I go the BL165 rib
route, what size hole and what reinforcement should be used to actually
install and access the assembly?

My preferred route is to have fuel to BL171.  This offers a bit more
fuel and a bit less work!  To do this I'll want to relocate the pitot
tube forward to the area in front of the main spar which will remain dry
for landing lights.  Does anyone see any problem re-locating the pitot
assembly up there?

Thanks again guys (and gals)
