One thing you might want to think about is not running it through the bulkhead unless you are going to put a big connector on it so that if you need to remove the bulkhead you can without cutting the loom!

I was going to do this but in the end ran it down the tunnel.

You must have used a grommet etc through the transmission tunnel to get behind the dash

You cut a U in the bulkhead and slot the grommet into it so you dont ahve to cut the loom of you need to remove either that or the bulkhead...

Are you building an MK or an MNR?

I have ran my loom under the scuttle throught the trans tunnel and up underneath it. Keeps it all neater and ju can take the scuttle off without disturbing the loom.

I just came up to the dash under the scuttle and ran to the front and rear along the tunnel with the fuse box behind the dash so no need to feed anything through the bulkheadbattery tray
