    I’ll try to take pics today. I used a TIG welding rod to fish the wire from the aft edge of the rudder to one of the hinge cut outs on the front edge of the rudder. I then used a long drill bit to drill a hole in the fiberglass on the back side of the vertical and installed a rubber grommet in the hole for the wire to pass thru. I did the install without removing the rudder.

    Not the greatest pictures but you can see how I ran the wire. It will be secured to stay out of the rudder stops. (Side note) you can also see how I addressed the rudder stop issue that some have. I drilled and tapped a hole on the rear stop and used a Phillips head screw with appropriate washers to adjust rudder travel so that the rudder wouldn’t contact the elevator.
