MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Bulkhead/firewall map

Does anyone have a diagram or some clever way of demonstrating which cable goes through which hole in the bulkhead of a LHD - '72 midget? I have main wiring lines OK and wiper thingy but how do the choke, hoodpull, oil/water capillery etc. travel..?

Thanks!
Simon

here is a discussion from another forum that covers most of the LHD holes for you:

OK Norm - confused by the solenoid to starter lead... how does that route? (can't see it in the photos).

Thanks!

...trying to remember (I am at work now).

Isn't it just a lead directly from the solenoid to the starter?


(no "routing" to speak of, as it is located almost directly above the starter)


can someone correct me on this?

Simon. Quite a few things are different on LHD cars to the ones on this side of the pond, but the solenoid and starter are in the same place so I'm with Norm, the starter lead just goes straight down from the solenoid to the starter as it is directly below it.

Thanks - not sure why I found this confusing but your confirmation is very welcome.
