I've been searching for pictures but can't seem to find the right one. I'm starting to get the console and the heater control panel put back in and the previous owner had a hell of a mess of all the wires back there. So my question is do I route the pigtails for the fuse box cigarette lighter and defroster under the bracket for the radio or do I route it over the bracket for the radio.  I've seen lots of pictures of the wiring harness Vinyl cover and all the wires hanging underneath the glove box side of the console but it's hard to tell how much of it is actually tucked in behind the heater control panel. I'm thinking it goes outside the radio bracket so that when I slide the radio in it's easier I just want to be sure before I start putting this all together here's a picture I took with the way I currently have it wired the main harness is coming down the side and then the parts I mentioned would be run under the radio to get to the fuse box cigarette lighter and console

I don't know if this is correct but it's how mine was, the wires were routed outside the support bracket for the center console. They are not well hidden this way, but you would have to really look hard to notice as they are pretty much covered by the center console. IIRC then the console can be pulled and the radio can remain behind (after removing the knobs and shaft nuts that hold it to the center console that is).

I'm a little late to the table, but for what it's worth here are some pictures from when I was taking my 7'70 apart for my on-going restoration.

For some reason I'm getting an error trying attach pictures. 😕 I will try sending you a PM

Well it's seems I get the same error with pics in a PM. I will try later or in the morning.
