Throttle Cable Routing pictures

Looking for guidance on how to rout the Throttle cable on a LS6 intake on a LS1 engine. With my original V6 TPI the cable was a straight run to the throttle body now the cable needs to cross over the intake to the passenger side. Is there a bracket that attaches to the intake to hold the cable, please share any pictures.
Thanks Rich

Route it under a hose or fuel rail or something and the cable will gradually hold shape after a few months of driving heat cycles. Attach a P-clip somewhere if you want it to appear more tidy but it is not necessary.

I always zip tied it to the PS fuel rail. Holds well enough
