power to dash/fuse box

hey guys, doing a m57 swap on a previous 200tdi chassis / loom (round plugs)

just went to crank it over and forgot there's no power going to the fuse/dash.. what cable/colour should i be looking for and what location to hook up a 12v supply from the starter?

Thanks in advance

It should be a fairly large brown wire with a ring terminal (originally attached to the starter) which would come out of the centre of the bulkhead and then go to the passenger side of the engine. I am not sure which side the starter is on for the M57, but you want it to pick up power from the batter cable attached to the solenoid on the starter.
