<<I was wondering what folks were doing for cable routing from the back of the
fuselage forward to the instrument panel.  Could some of you share with me
your ideas.Thanks,  Paul>>

Paul,
 my standard europa fin antenna cable and the transponder cable come through 
some
lightweight oval conduit up the port side, both then plug into sockets mounted
under the port side panel.
 Trim servo cables, strobe and capacitance fuel gauge cables come up the 
starboard
side, same type of conduit, but are taken to the firewall and through into
the engine compartment.
 Fuel pump cables up the inside of the tunnel, through the firewall into the 
engine
compartment too.
 With all cables requiring connection to the panel now in the engine 
compartment,
you only need one multi-plug to bring them all neatly back through the firewall
and into the panel itself. I used a zip type push plug with a ring connector
that screws the two halves together and locks with a nice click to it.

chus,
