Static Ports

 The plans call to use a pull rivet as the static port.  I think these look cheap and don't like the idea of of using braided connections.  Went with exactly what I used on my 10 and bought the Cleaveland style ones from Flyboy Accessories.   In this installation I'm using the duplicate set of push to connect fittings I have and the 1/4" tubing that came with the kit.

If you want to see how I installed it on the 10 you can see my write up. 9 years later, 6 years of flying I've had zero issues and they've always passed the Pitot static check (hence the duplicate fittings I have on hand).  The adhesive has held well and less messy than proseal.
