Default Wiring harness routing and clips

I'm putting a '31 coupe back together.
Should the wire harness to the passenger side headlight go over, or under the radiator outlet?
How many clips should be used along the bottom of the radiator?
Under which hood clamp screw should the harness clip be installed to support the harness as it comes forward out of the light switch?
What clips should be used, and what are their locations to support the harness as it runs to the rear before and after the driver's side rear engine mount?
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for posting I am to that point also! As for radiator wiring i think it goes under the outlet and there are clips on the radiator. Wiring run down the frame rail inside, but I don't remember if on the upper rail or lower rail. Thanks again for posting as I need to get the lights working, I haven't had any problems with hand signals yet :-)

ALL your questions can be answered in the Judging Standards and Restoration guidelines., I suggest you call the MARC office and get a copy, It will help all the way along your project.

Hi Mark,
The JCS is silent on how exactly the wire to the tail light is clipped, how the cowl lights are run in detail...
so, I ask the question again...but specifically, how are the cowl lights run from the one sprig from the switch and how are the rear tail / brake light positioned, clamped and fastened.

Pages 2-15 thru 2-18 of the Guidelines seem to cover it.

With the others also asking questions in the same subject I failed to notice that the original post was from a first timer.

If you are still looking here wk2w please email me and I'll send you the file with what you need as it is too big to post here.

Welcome to the Barn and I'm sorry I did not notice.
