A solidly embedded tube through the core material of the forward lift pin
stiffener would be O.K.
I envisaged, from your request, that you would be removing material from the
shear webs of the top hat section, and simply runnung wires through, which
wouldn't be too good. You may be surprised at the contribution that the
foam gives to the structure. Not difficult to stress with all the necessary
information.
