Been there, inspected that. All the instruments are ported to the static system. There was some plumbing that was less than secure, and some re-seating of hoses plus a few cable ties to keep them from squirting off the barbs should have addressed most of that. Now I'm back to where I was about six months ago, with about a 20 foot up/down wiggle in the altimeter with the canopy open. Nothing else is wiggling near so much.
In talking to a couple of instrument shops they said that, indeed, a rotted-out altimeter will cause a static system leak. Since the altimeter looks disreputable as all hell and I want to replace it anyway I'll go ahead and do it and see if it steadies down.
