Put a flexible fish through first then make a rod with a circle on the end from a piece of wire to hook it up and grab with long nose pliars through the chassis hole then attach a cord and pull through...fuse box go modern blade...are you ok with doing electrics just asking cause some of your other threads were a bit scratching my head here what am I missing here...electrics are not the same as nuts and bolts...

The series 3 has a multi pin plug by steering column series 2A does not.
So wires will not reach your dash connections and you will end up cutting the plugs off.
By the steering column is not a good location for lots of joints without proper connector.

Well I cant bloody win with this, have emailed Autosparks to see if they can do one for 2a.
What does the 2 A have instead of the multiplug ?
If you can get a plug, (both sides), you could make up a short fly leads for the dash ...
