Not being SteveD, but SteveG, I'd like to add my 2 cents to this (someone
else can work out what that comes to in Euros).
I used the same tubing, anchoring it with tie wraps attached to the wing
panel via Click Bond tie-wrap bases. You can order these and lots of other
Click Bond products from the fine folks at http://www.theflightshop.com.
For the (sad) details on my skills in doing same, allow me to refer you to
http://home.comcast.net/~damnyankees/Wingpage.htm; the relevant section is
about halfway down the page.
I hope this helps.

Howdy Steve:
It's pitot tube plumbing time. Going to go to home depot today and get
fancy
blue corrugated electrical conduit. I noticed that Wile E used regular thin
wall PVC. Any particular reason that you used the corrugated stuff?
Looks like you are using 1/2 size and terminating the ends with the cap
fittings for the tubing?
How are you attaching the conduit to the through ribs or are you? Redux? Bid
and epoxy?
I also noted the nifty wood brackets around the inspection plate. Scrap
---From the supplied 1/8 ply with bid?
Also you have chosen to epoxy the pitot line into the bracket rather than
just coming out of the conduit. My guess it to prevent entanglement of the
bellcrank.
If I understood an earlier email the you are going to attach this conduit to
the floor of the wing with Redux to prevent flopping around. From the
photos
the conduit appears to be well above the floor. Is this still going to be
done?
