I know that's what I put on my plane. When building the control surfaces that the mounts are in I cut slots for the billets that the wicks screw into, used silver epoxy to bond them into place and then shaped the contours over them with micro. Once the shape was sanded, I put 1 BID over everything and bodyworked the finished product to look like what you saw at OSH. It's really not that big of a job if you do it before paint.
