Default pictures of pitot line routing in fuselage

All, any pictures of the pitot line routing from the wing root connection to the instrument panel would be much appreciated. The plans are vague and didn't find much on a VAF search.

Thank You

Default Pitot routing

My plane isn't flying yet so everything isn't tied up yet but this may help. The pitot is the red plastic tubing.

Default Service loops

One thing to consider is to put some service loops in the lines that go to the instruments otherwise it is very difficult to remove the instruments if you need to work on them or get behind them once the top deck is riveted in place. Even with the quick disconnect fittings it is awkward to get your hands back in there from underneath the panel.
