MG MGA - Tach cable routing

Hey folks,

How does the tach cable run and where, if any place, dose it attach along the routing, i.e., firwall? Thanks! Mine is a left handed car. Cheers!

Also, looking at the restoration books, I see two grey colored cables that run in front of the heater box, attached to the heater shelf by one clip, but I can't tell which ones these might be. Input appreciated.

I own a 1958 MGA 1500 and would like to see the correct routing for the Tacho Cable.

Robert the lines in front of the heater are the fuel line and just below and in front are the brake and clutch hydraulic lines. The tach cable, and all other holes, are identified here. http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/body/pics/firewall_2.gif
In the picture attached below there is a red screwdriver in the hole the tach cable comes out of. I don't believe there are any brackets on the cable it goes right down to the tach drive.
The 3 silver line running in front of the heater hole are fuel clutch and brake.
