in retrospect I wished I had installed more conduit down the firewall and
under the battery box to allow easier installation of wires.  I found the
need for a number of circuits and the only other route is thru that bulkhead
at the main spar.  I have my strobe power, landing lights, fuel pump, cig
lighter power and antennae wires running thru there, as well as flaps, gps
power(9v) and wish I had room for flap position switches.  I would suggest
finding a large plastic plug for the batt box which can be easily removed to
jump the battery after you forget to shut off the master!  you will have to
cut part of the underside of the batt box at the firewall so that the
conduit can make the bend.
