Spent a little time tonight getting the conduit secured in the left wing. The lower conduit is running thru holes in the ribs drilled in the stock Van’s location. The upper (aft) conduit is running thru the lightening holes, and is secured to the edges of the holes with the nice plastic clips I got from TerminalTown.com. I secured the lower conduit with UltraBlack RTV, and the upper conduit was zip tied to the standoffs.
I also ran the lines for the angle of attack system along side the upper conduit, and the pitot line at the stock location.
Finally, I sanded the Gretz pitot down to fit in the pitot mount, test installed it in the wing, and mounted the pitot’s electronic control board in the wing.

Apparently TerminalTown no longer exists. Would you by any chance know the part number or similar for those clips? Thanks!!
I heard that too. Apparently, they went out of business a while ago now.
If I were doing it again, I may just make my own standoff mounts by cutting up some 1″x 1″ angle aluminum, and riveting that to the edge of the lightening holes. Those simple plastic clips from TerminalTown were stupid expensive for what they were. Like a few bucks each!
