Wing Internal Wires

I am putting together two Pa22 Colt Wings and want to make sure I have the Drag wires for the first bay near the fuel
tank correct. These two are different diameters. Am I correct putting the heavier one from rear spar to the N brace/Front spar intersection?
The smaller diameter from the Front spar to the N brace/Rear spar intersection.

Thanks

Jim, the heavy wire goes the same direction as the tank bay strut. The small wire starts where the tank strut ends moving outboard. Remember to alternate which wire is on top in consecutive bays. If you have the Short Wing Piper Club drawing CD this is all in the wing drawing.

Thanks. I think I gave my drawing CD to the buyer of the Colt airframe. I have been very happy with the RV3. I now have 68 hours in it with no problems-it
cruises at 160mph on 108hp.
