Kelvin - I also had problems routing the C04 hose. I started with it going down
the outside of the engine mount adjacent to the footwell, but later decided to
move it in board of the mount, because it was too close to the air filter. Here
are links to some photos of my installation. The whole setup is not typical
of a 912S installation as I am using Nevs cowl and his baffle arrangements (but
not his mount). So, I dont have the usual plenum chamber for the carb intakes.
But I think the C04 routing issue arises anyway - there is barely room for
the hose between the mount and the footwell.

Hope this is of some use.
