Default 41 ford firewall

I got a 41 ford sedan in for some minor repairs, one being a butchered wiring harness. I need a picture of the firewall mainly on the driver side. The fuel line is not secured and some extra holes from the previous owner.

Neat car overall. Bas a built 49 merc motor and a mitchell overdrive. Less then 1000 miles on the motor. Its a 4dr with a nice body
Basically a car that can be driven anywere and left outside.

The screw that retains the clip for the fuel line is directly beneath the innermost regulator mounting screw, below the the angular rib in the firewall and the clip is parallel to the floor.

Do you have a clear picture of it? The one above looks like it might be using the same screw for the wire harness cover

Sorry no picture, but in the posted photo it looks like the head of the pan head screw is there just painted over, just under the fluorescent tie wrap. The wiring cover uses separate fasteners.

There is a screw hole directly above the steering column and right below the bead in the steetmetal that runs at a 30 degree angle. Is that the one i am looking for to anchor the fuel line?
