Cross check my FF-1216 pitot tube line routing please

I was hoping that I could get a few folks to look over how I've routed the pitot tube on my 12iS. Here are some pictures:

I was having an issue deciphering the plans:

page 3. If you look at my album above, you can see where I pointed with my finger - that's where I actually inserted the tube initially and routed the end to the front of the plane. Then I pulled the tube far enough forward that I could grab the aft portion with a hook I made with some wire and pulled it back through the firewall.

Any suggestions welcome.
 
i suspect it doesn't make a whole lot off difference.. as long as it's not routed anywhere extremely hot or with sharp edges. The routing shown on my 2-blade prop Section is completely different than your 3-blade Section.
