You still need to get the battery and FD wires from to the junction box to the components - the easiest way i can think of is drilling the same "ribs", so that the path follows the wires logical route. I will try to snap a picture from my frame.
or drill o hole in the top of the seat post and have the battery under the saddle

How that solves the placing of the B junction? If I stay external, the box I have is not good. I can move the battery let say on the seat tube, can you explain what am I solving by that?
If you mean to use the internal B junction and to follow what Omiar said so the box will seat inside the frame and the battery wire will run up inside the seat tube but then where and how I hold the battery there, what do you mean under the saddle.
Thanks

Finally my LBS got me what I wanted, they width a bit the internal housing The frame has, they did a great job and everything runs internally, neat and clean. I'll post some pictures soon!

on the frame i had last year, i drilled i little hole in the top of the seatpost, so i could have the battery tucked in under the saddle, where you couldn´t se it if you didn´t search for it. i just straped it in with some Zip tie , of course, i had to cut the Zip ties every time you will charge the battery, but what is that, 1-2 times a year?

Yes I'm not sure why they didn't expend the existing hole on the side of the chain stay. Could it be not to weaken the chain stay area if they drill the side, as I read few things about it but I'm not sure.

Now all you need to do ts put the battery in the seat post, buy this kit on eBay (
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290894530756?ss ... 1555.l2649), than Update the firmware in the other components and you can have MULTI-SHIFTING NOW SUPPORTED WITH ULTEGRA.
