We've just received our newly braided wiring harness back from Autosparks in the UK. I have installed all of the front section up to the dashboard and have begun routing it towards the back. I'm stuck wondering where and how it routes through the centre tunnel? I can see looking through the shifter hole that there is a channel on the passenger (N/S) side that starts at this point, as well as a solid tube on the drivers (O/S) side that runs from the front of the footwell all the way to the back. There is a wiring clip on the drivers side where it goes back up to the dash, and another on the passengers side near the shifter area, as if to say it crosses over to the other side at some point to go through the passenger side channel?
If anyone has a photo either from the rear underneath the car, showing where different things leave the interior and come into the engine bay, or from inside the car showing where the harness goes on a pre a, it would be hugely appreciated.

For some reason it wouldn't allow me to post all three pictures at once.

Re: RHD Pre A Wiring...
You did not say what year, but here's the arrangement where everything exits the rear of the tunnel on a 1953-55 LHD car.
There is just one conduit inside the central tunnel large enough to accept the wiring harness. In a LHD car it runs along the righthand side of the tunnel. Before installing the new harness, visually inspect the interior of the conduit and clean up any burn-through spots wherever there conduit was welded in the tunnel.

Re: RHD Pre A Wiring...
Thank you Donald, exactly the picture I was hoping to find! Ours is a late 1953 car so that should be the same for us.
