Where's the wires go?

[Geococcyx]

Hi - I'm a newbie to this forum but hoping I can gather some info off you knowledgeable folk.
I have a 68 fury 111 convertible with factory 440. I am now installing the factory wiring looms in the engine bay and have managed all apart from the wiring that feeds the headlights and sidelights.
The problem is what route does it take through the fenders and front panel? Where and how is it fastened ?
Thanks for any help in advance.

jolly good show!

The path is along the driver side inner fender under the bonnet, exiting from the firewall, for the majority of the wiring (some split off and run along the inner firewall). You should see the bulkhead near the brake booster. There should be some holes about 5cm apart, down the length of the inner fender, where loom fasteners snap in.

This post has been English-ified. ill add more later i got to run.

cheery O old chap.

I basically have the same car, but without the 440
I will take some pictures of mine later today or tonight and post them.

Thanks for the help guys sorry it was "englishified"
The area I need to sort I think is known as the gravel pan and its the loom from one headlight to the other if that makes more sense

Here are some pictures of my 68 Fury Convertible.
The pictures in the area between the grill and the radiator didn't come out as clean as I hoped. With the flat black of the paint and the black of the wires, it is tough to see the detail. I used a drop light it and whitened the pictures and lost the contrast. Hopefully this helps you some. If I can figure a way to get some better light, I will take a few more pictures.

Hello all, this Guy above ^^^ shares my Ind unit here in Non-EU land LOL, just a "test" pic

Fantastic, worked a treat, thank you for making it easy to post pics
Our old 300, a pool car we had in the late 80's

Currant pic of the Fury, it may look rough but we have done a huge amount of work to it, at the time no one wanted it, badly damaged so it would have gone to the yard. When we applied for a V5c for it (your title) when it arrived I noticed the license plate only to discover I owned it 15 years prior . Factory 440 car. I will uncover it and take better pics.
Should I post future pics here? or another section.
Thanks,

New windscreen fitted at massive expense, one of the dearest things we have needed to get (we have been looking for side drop glass' for 4 years for it, so they may prove dearer LOL)
