I routed the static line under the longeron as Vans suggests, but they leave you high and dry with no obvious way forward from the baggage compartement. I wanted to keep the tube as straight as possible to eliminate any moisture traps. The only logical way was to drill a hole through the top of the bulkhead doubler and angle outboard of the canopy latch mechanism. The space above the forward bulkhead above the main spar enables the line to continue to the rear of the panel.
Clips for static line
Keeping the T high should allow any moisture to drain out and more importantly not allow any in.
I decided on this way forward, keeping the hole as small as possible.
