TR4/4A TR4 firewall holes for cables?

[SCguy]

In my 62 TR4 I have three, one inch holes next to my steering column. Can anyone tell me (starting closest to the battery) what holes were used for which cables? Right now I have a tach cable, a speedo cable and a oil pressure line. Am I forgetting anything?

Also, how does the hood release cable attach? Was there a bracket fitted underneath the passenger side dash? Anyone have a picture?

My '64 TR4 has the oil line and speedo cable going through the hole closest to the battery and the tach cable going through the next one. The third hole is plugged. I don't know if this is correct as the car was previously owned. The brakes and clutch cylinders impede access to the third hole so it might not have been used.
The bonnet release on the passenger side is attached to an "L" bracket mounted to the horizontal surface of the bulkhead to the right and forward of the glove box and even with the vetical surface of that bulkhead.
Hope this helps.

Hi Larry:

Funny you should ask about the three holes ... I just took a picture of mine (62 TR4) tonight for future reference. Unfortunately, I am in the dis-assembly, not the re-assembly mode.

From the battery side out, my car has the speedo, the oil line, then the tach. My car has had work done on it in the past, so I don't know if its original or not, but my guess is that it is.

I will try to get a pic up under my dash tomorrow to answer your hood release question.

From the battery side out the order is: 1) Speedometer cable, 2) Oil pressure line, 3) Tachometer cable.

Here's a picture of my hood release handle and cable underneath the passenger side dash.
