A couple of pictures of our dual SkyView installation (in the process of ground runs, not yet flown).
My 3 analogue instruments are a requirement for the UK:
UMA 2-1/4" ASI (40-160 kts)
Airpath C2300 Compass
FALCON ALTN10MBF-2 altimeter (single sweep 0-10,000ft....!)
ASI is plumbed with the pitot on the right and static on the left (gauge in the panel and viewed from the pilot's seat). Static T-piece also feeds the altimeter.
Don't feel bad about the UK requirements, I am putting in the same analog instruments in with my Skyview. I like the way you have mounted them, looks very nice.

I don't know if the RV12 guys can use them, but the Pitot-static fittings sold by Stein are the best. You push in the tube, done, zero leaks. Passed my IFR cert first time, with zero leakage.
All the fittings with the male 1/8" NPT should screw right into all of your instruments.

?The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.?
Be VERY careful screwing the fitting into the instrument. I once broke a UMA ASI by over tightening the fitting. The Stenair/Mcmaster fittings are GREAT. Don't bother with the cutter though, a sharp knife or scissors work fine, the tubing/fitting connections isn't really THAT sensitive to the cut.
