Robert - The feet on my older pedestal guard did not have holes, rather, they were screwed down to the cockpit floor with one screw each right under the tube. It sounds as though that is what you have. But Edson sells replacement feet that do have a hole, with two bolts on the side securing the foot to the cockpit floor. Then you can run the wires down the tubes. That worked fine for me. It happened that the position of the guard was right over a transverse support of the floor, so it took 6 inch 1/4-20 threaded stock to go all the way through. Probably could have used lag screws.
