Route of capillary temp pipe on LHD car

And where go the extreme RIGHT harness that
route in direction of cool air duct

Please advise me if I made mistakes on my scketch
Tanks in advance

Andrea, I will try and help. The temp tube goes to the front of the engine block and then is routed up and along the heater pipe where it is held in place by clips that attach to the carb choke cable brackets. Where the tube goes into the firewall it is coiled up about 3 times and is held together by a rubber strap. I have found it useful to first connect the tube to the temp gauge, coil the tube then connect to the block.

The wiring harness on the right side, looking from the front of the car, goes up and over the steering box and down along the fender well (there should be clips welded to the fender to secure the harness) then along the bottom of the brake relay box and on to the front of the car.
 
Tanks Johnny for your help very useful

I understand perfectly the capillary temp, tube route-and also the route of the harness to the front

but I look on this photo extreme right corner of firewall(is one Abingdon car)

some wiring and also one pipe (oil pressure to gauge??)
and also one wire penetrating on the pedal box
This side of engine comp. is not loved by photographs and usually covered by the wings
the only help that I have is this Abingdon (probably Bj8
)shot

I would think a Longbridge car would be the same as my (very) early Abingdon car; along the right side of the bonnet opening, to terminate in the front of the radiator (as opposed to the cylinder head).

The capilary tube is exiting just above, and to the left of the voltage regulator.

Hi Randy
This is the solution for RHD cars but I suppose that
also British have find one better solution for LHD cars where the Oil pres and Water temp GAUGE are at the opposite corner.......consider that about 90% of
100/6 production was exported to US

My car is # 43214 but have a 26 RU 77... engine
-late six ports head -so I have bayed 3 WEBER 45DCOE

What solution have you adopted for accelerator throttle command on yours? -

I don't see any Overdrive Relays on your car
Tanks for help
Andrea
 
Andrea, I believe the small two wire section that is penetrateing the toe box on the left side is for the High/low beam dimmer switch. I remember taking it out of mine when I took the car apart.
 
TANKS again for helps- I am at 96% certain -about the wires route in the engine compartment- the 4% is the right quantity that all must have
beginning a new work
