Gear, clutch and throttle cables through the tube

Following advice on here ive run my wiring loom and ht lead through the tube which has given a much neater finish to the cutdown im building. Im now in the process of dry building it and have test fitted the gear, clutch and throttle cables, question is do i fit them in the tube as well as the thing is im concerned about drilling more holes in the tube. Ive got one exiting above the stator, another for the Ht lead above the spark plug and another one for the brake light switch near the pivot.

Any thoughts? :?: :idea:

put them thru the frame its no hassle , as you can see i used tubes then welded them into hole cut into frame .

yeah drill the fu**er... :D carefully of course... ;) I really like the way some people have fluted the holes out of the frame to accept the cables. Way beyond me and how its done im not sure but im sure someone could enlighten us.... :D
