I am installing my static port line (RV-6A), following van's
instructions. I need some way of keeping the poly tube up under the top
longeron as it goes forward from the F-607 bulkhead where it
originates. Just a couple of support points are needed back there.
The only thing I can think of is to drill a #40 hole (maybe a tad
larger) at 2 points in the longeron and run a tie wrap through it. Does
any one have a better suggestion?

Use some adhesive backed cable tie mounts or adhesive backed cable
clips. Examples shown here: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/627/800.pdf
If/when the adhesive dries out and and fails, nothing particularly bad
happens. The static line will droop down below the canopy
deck/longeron. Throw the old ones away, stick some new ones in place,
re-secure the static line, and go fly.

"better" is relative. The ty-rap will work just fine for a long time,
but they do get brittle an break over time. You can get stick-on bases
for the ty-rap that will really stick for a long time, eliminating the
drilled hole. They're nice and light, and easy to install. An ADEL
clamp would be better, though (just to answer your question). But it's
all relative!!!

My solution is to make a p-clip from 0.016" x 1/2" strip. Attach to the
backside of a AN426-3 rivet that fixes the turtle deck skin to the
longeron.

I used these cable tie mounts,however I did not trust
the adhesive.Instead I scraped it off and used goop
glue instead.It will last longer.

Or just use little gobs of RTV. "Embed" the tubing in the RTV and it's
there for the duration, and it has built in anti-chafe. RTV will hold the
tubing securely anywhere you need it. Ever need to replace the tubing...you
can easily slice the RTV with a razor blade, and then just re-RTV the new
tubing in place.
No need for any fancy hardware here! This is an area you'll never see.
FWIW, I used adhesive tie wrap mounts and some did pop off as predicted.
RTV now.
