Default Capillary tube firewall feedthroughs

I just ordered a set of Smiths mechanical gauges, going to take 8 weeks for delivery, as in UK we now have to have kph as well as mph on the speedo (new regs) - a bit of non-originality I'll have to live with.

Anyway, my question:

Does anyone have any definitive info, pics even better, of how the capillary tubes were routed through the original cars at the firewall at rear of the engine bay.

Also, I dont have much idea how these should be routed round the engine (best practice,/ original routing on sideoiler cars) - only ever used electrical gauges before.

Any comments/pics appreciated.

Kevin
