TR4/4A Help on cable routes

I have 3 holes in the firewall and three cables to go through them. Choke, heater control and hood release.
In the picture "A" is above the heater hoses, "B" is to the right of the harness and "C" is hiding there below the rear carb.
Which cable goes in which hole

I know B is hood release and A is heater control. So C must be choke. And that location makes sense.

The problem is that the choke cable is retained in a hole feeding from the top of the rear carb. Note the locations on the modified picture. The choke cable is no way long enough to wind around the linkage and the carb to descend from the top. This is my dilemma
Figured it out I hope. "A" is the choke since it has to be above the carb. "B" is hood release and "C" lines up with the heater control.
Next question: where does the horn and OD relays mount?
