Default Large grommet and wiring routing

I have 1960 corvette and I bought a complete grommet kit
There are 4 that I’m not sure where they go
the larger ones are 1-3/4 wide
the other two are odd ball with room for separated wires to go through
can someone tell me where they go on the car?

the others is the routing of the wiring harness
inside the car on the driver side it will go under the plate up behind the seat from there
I see a wire hole by the gas tank under the deck lid
i can’t figure out how it goes up there I see no hole at all
you can see the hole at the top that I’m sure it’s supposed to feed through but can’t get to it
Any help appreciated

Couple attached pics may help. The "dirty" one is from my original 60, but the generator cable is not routed correctly. It was replaced during its lifetime and run externally.

The "clean" one is my 58 and you can see the grommets there as well. Oil pressure and wiper control cable go through one.

The last pic you can see another single hole grommet near the ignition resistor. The distributor wiring comes through that hole.

Yes that will be unusual for sure . I look forward to seeing it finished, Was that the original color of the car ?
If not how did you decide to paint it that color ?

The original colour was black with a silver cove and red interior
im excited to finish it and see what it looks like 😂

i love green what can i say this is another car i did several years ago

back to the topic does anybody have pictures on how the wires are routed once they go beside the seat, i assume up but can’t find a hole for it to go through
or maybe I have the way its routed wrong
Appreciated in advance

Rusty, wires run straight, and up in latch pillar, not beside the seat.

I will close this thread with a couple pictures
at some point I removed the wire clips and them being there would have helped.

as chip mentioned they go straight up the pillar , the wire hole at the top near the gas tank made no sense until I laid the harness out and I assume it’s for the wires to the fuel sending unit
thanks for the help
Much Appreciated
