Bob,
That sounds right. The wire comes under the gas tank, up to the
hole in the cener of the tire munting brachet, throught the tube to the
opening by the license plate bracket. It's a good idea to leave a slight
drip loop here to keep water from draining down into the tube. If you
don't already have one, I'd suggest buying a copy of "The Complete M.G.
TD Restoration Manual" by Horst Schach. I wish that it had been
available when I was trying to put mine back together.
Good Luck,
