MG MGA - Wiring harness routing

I need info on where harness goes at rear and front of car. My 56 1500 came with all wiring removed so I am starting from scratch. I have main harness, dash and headlight pieces from Scarborough Faire. I have Malcolm Green's and Clausager's books but they do not show much.
There are several holes in radiator duct panel for headlight wiring, one larger on left (drivers) side. Do any of these need gromets. Where do horns mount behind grill? Any info would be appriciated.

The wiring goes on the right side of the car. By the starter switch there is a large bundle of connectors, and the cable then runs along the wing mounting bolts forwards, with a couple of P clips to the bolts. It has a branch to the coil, and then runs through the bulkhead. The lighting branch runs under the support for the bonnet / hood catch, each lighting spur going through the inner wheel arch to feed the lights. The horn spur goes through the duct panel by the RH body/chassis mount.

Going backwards from the starter switch, the loom runs parallel to the fuel lines, and then along the chassis over the rear axle.

Wherever the loom goes through a panel it should have a grommet.

The hole in the duct panel on the left is for the hood release operating rod.

Horns mount under the car, onto the chassis using small handed brackets.
