Rob,

        I've seen both methods used.  I personally wanted to minimize the
amount of structure I had to remove.  I relieved the BL50 rib on the
outboard wing panel outer core to accomodate the Skysports fuel probe.  I
glassed in the metal mounting plate supplied with the probe.  I also
drilled two small holes so I can adjust the low/high levels on the probe.

It works great.  I wouldn't change a thing.

However, I've seen some builders leave the outboard wing BL50 rib
alone, a bore a 3" hole in the BL50 rib on the stub wing.  Looks a little
drastic to me but it seems to work for them.
