Based on some excellent suggestions from others, I bought some lightweight 7mm corrugated conduit (used to tidy up wires in car engine bays) with clamps to suit.

My wife assisted in running a lightweight string through the conduit, I then installed it using some home made 0.025" brackets and taped the ends of the string to the root rib and tip spar.  Now, if I decide to install tip lights, just a matter of taping the wires to the string and pulling them through.

Although it looks close, the conduit doesn't touch the fuel tank.

Cool.  Make sure that when you do pull wires through, you also pull another string with them, and you will always have a way to pull other wires should you need to.
