Default Pic needed : Wiring under Rocker dash.

Im having a hard time getting mine back on, I cant remember where the wiring whent.

Iv spent the last 4 hours trying to get my dash to fit, but I cant seem to get the wiring to go up under it correctly at all.

And its the only thing holding me back.

Iv got the manual, and its pretty vauge as to how the wiring harness is to be layed out. Im unsure of the bundle of 3 red wires with the lack connector. And how I run the wires up the front of the tank under the dash.

I just cant seem to get the dash to lay down on the tank. And the tank seems to be snug to press down.

Tonight, when I have MORE light, I will try some diffrent routing.

Under the dash is only one bundle for the idiot lights and speedo (if my memory is correct), it was held down with one cheesy plastic clip, which I accidentally broke off.

Here is a photo from when I replace the fuel filter. Just one clip holds the bundle.
