I'm curious about this.  The hollowed out area that is outboard of the =
fuel bulkhead - as innocuous as it seems, is structural.  Several layers =
of triax reinforcements are applied to give this area extra strength.  =
If this is where the "strake lights" are going, I wonder how the leading =
edge cutout(s) will affect the structure - especially considering that =
the area is already weakened by the creation of a wing bolt access hole =
on the underside?

  If anyone is interested- I have a set of molds for plexi light covers =
for strake mounted recognition/landing lights - the ones that a few of =
us are installing outboard of the tanks- I have already molded my covers =
with them, so don't need them anymore- I will give them to anyone who =
wants them.
