Default Feeding oil pressure pipe through bulkhead where?

Right lads cheers, it one of those jobs i should have done when the engine was out but never mind i'll look later - i know the grommet on the passenger side is cut as i had to use it for my Ryan loom so it will go through there if the pipe is long enough

would it not be a better idea to fit a electric one instead of a capillary one if it ever leaks it will make a huge mess .
