I have two holes in my center section BL50 rib. One is one-inch in diameter for access to the finger strainer. The other is one and a half inch diameter for the fuel probe, allowing me to take the probe out without having to remove the wing. The core of both holes was filled with micro and the area was covered with generous 2 BID patch. Incidentally the recommended orientation of the fuel probe per Figure 9-2 won't allow the probe to be removed. It hits the lower wing skin near the partial rib. The BL50 probe hole has to be moved about an inch farther forward, canting the probe line enough that it can be put in or out easily.
