Just fitting plywood leading edges and was thinking about future drag wire and block access.

I already have hardwood blocks and larger washers but just wanted opinions on whether it's worth cutting some access holes in the ply for potential future access.
Was thinking of perhaps a 1" hole and either cover with an acetate glued cover (under a fabric patch) or just let the fabric cover naturally.

Later if a re-tentioning is required a Tinnerman cover could be used.

Worth it or not?
