All the wiring to the instrument panel goes through connectors on the left side. Antenna cables go direct but have an extra foot of 'slack' to move the panel back for access.

The rivets on the side next to the firewall will become CherryMax. I also did my engine installation with it off so have CherryMax rivets in the upper firewall.
