Cheoy Lee Wooden Mast Question

[knothead]

Hello all, and Hi Brian. Sorry I missed you when you were in town for the boat show and dropped by the shop.
Steve Smith here. SSMR in St. Pete. (GO RAYS!!)
I just joined you because I just discovered you. I've been a SailNet member for a long time and that has been the extent of my on-line activity.
I'm branching out as it were.
I haven't even really figured out how to navigate this site yet, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I want to state that I haven't read the RULES.
Brian, forgive me.
However, I promise to behave and I take direction well.
If I am out of line, Just let me know.

Here's my situation.
There is a customer in the yard who is restoring a Cheoy Lee 32' ,(I think). We pulled the stick a few months ago. It had some rot and actually separated just above the step as we were pulling it.
Since then, she has had the mast repaired and we have made all new standing rigging.
She has had her own people working on the project and I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it.
Today, as she was painting the mast she informed us that she wanted us to run wire for a tri-color, vhf and steaming/deck combo. Problem is the spar is solid. Nowhere for internal wire.
Does anyone have any ideas for a halfway decent looking and effective way to run these wires externally?
All thoughts and suggestions will be gratefully considered and presented to the customer.
Thanks,

Best regards,
Steve Smith
