Manual trim cable routing?

Ok, this should be easy, but I can't find any reference to it in the plans. How does the manual elevator trim cable get routed from the left side sub panel through the 180 turn and to the spar bulkhead. Aft of the spar there are holes and reference in the plans. Do go in the top hole in the gear tower, then drill a new hole in the side under the engine cables for it to come out?

Thanks much for any pictures or confirmation of the route!
 
On my plans, the route is shown on DWG 31, Section A-A. Also refers you to DWGs 39 and 40
 
Are we both talking about the RV-8? I don't have any reference to a plans sheet 31 in my set or preview index? hum.
 
So Mike K sent me some scans from the preview plans. Since I was not able to find anything on the topic in the archives I'll post them here for the future?

Thanks Mike!
