Will someone advise how the wiring running from the passenger fender runs to the drivers side of the car. Does it lay on the back side of the front crossmember?

I have a 115C, but for the life of me cannot recall how the wiring is routed over to the passenger side. The car is not at home now, so can't go out in the garage and look.

It does on my 39 120.

Corsa 7,
If it's like 15th series 120, right side harness drops down from the headlight stanchion to a small opening on the front edge of the fender splasher, then to a clip on lower inside of splasher, then curves to the rear face of front X member and across to the left ( on 120 it is in a double clip that also holds brake line, double clips are only on crossmember.)
I'm not totally sure which side of splasher the single clips ( 1 each splasher) mount on, but the inside seemed more likely.
Hope this is some help.

The clipson splassher are on the inside on 1937 120.

Thank you very much for your help. I failed to photograph the routing before I separated the wiring so you saved me on this one, many Thanks !!

I found this picture maybe it will provide help. I know it only shows the brake lines.

I believe the wiring on a 1940-120 was on the front under the radiator on the frame. I could be wrong, I will look for picture of that also.

Thank you for the photo, are you in the middle of a restoration ?? Would love to see more photos as you progress. Thanks again for your help.

Yes I am restoring a 1940-120. I took a bunch of pics at Hershey of a 120. I started a blog awhile back but haven't contributed lately. When I get back to it I will be posting more.

Let me know when you post more photos. I'm looking for a 41 120 sedan, a decent driver but have had no luck so far.
