Default static tube routing

Where did you run the static tubing from the standard vans ports to behind the instrument panel without interfering with throttle levers. I though maybe up under the siderails by just using some 5/8 holes that are already up there and then opening out what appear to be tooling holes in the F804,5,6 bulkheads. But then how did you get from there to behind the instrument panel while keeping the tube hidden? Can you do that?

I want to keep things as unobotrusive as possible?

Any pictures?

I ran mine under the floor, with the wiring, and then up through the gear leg towers. 120 hours with no problems so far. I did the same with the pitot line on the other side of the fuselage.

I went up the other side (right side) of the fuse, under the armrest then under the switch panel.
