I purchased some LED indicators to fit each side of the nosecone. To meet the IVA width requirement these needed to be extended. An M8 flanged nut has been stuck into either end of a 20mm diameter black plastic length of conduit, 120mm in length. Whilst the araldite was setting, a length of M8 stud was used to keep the flanged nuts straight.
A length of pvc sleeving was threaded through the extensions followed by the wires for the indicators. The indicator was then screwed into one end of the plastic pipe and the wires threaded through the hole in the side of the nose cone. I'd previously drilled a hole down the length of two M8 bolts which are used to hold the whole assembly together from the inside of the nosecone.
