Considering that cost is a large factor in this project, does anyone have any good simple feed through methods.  I've considered just placing pads and vias's adjacent to the holes on either side and using surplus component leads to solve the issue as a last resort.

1) eyelets for vias, takes a bit of space.
2) vias as stitched through wire.  Nasty to line up depending on VIA
size.
