Does anyone know a good way to route the tubes for a Reserve Lift indicator gauge thru the left wing on a Kitfox V starting at the peto tube inspection patch? Or another good location for the prusure tubes?

Al,  I think on the 5 wing you should have a space either above or below the rear spar between it and the fabric to put the tubes thru - the only thing I can think of right now would be to try to use an electrical snake, or something with a hook on the end,  to go thru the openings in the rib tails, snag the tubes, and pull the tubes to the wing root.  Maybe safety wire around the end of the tubes and make a hook to catch with the snake?   Good Luck,  EDMO
