Default Correct routing of wiring for 40 ford clock light

Does anyone have a picture of the correct routing of the wiring for the light that goes in the clock on a 40 ford deluxe? And the correct location for the ground wire

I can't seem to find a photo - sorry. I can tell you this: The ground wire goes between the hinge and the left lock washer within the glove box.
The lamp wire (of the main harness) is routed atop the lower lip of the instrument panel. The pigtail from the clock is routed through the brass grommet in the left - front corner of the glove box liner. The connection is made very near the glove box - at the lip of the panel.
Make sense?

The only "clips" I can think of you referring to are the speed nuts at the top of the liner. They should be staked to the liner. The other four attachment points utilize machine screws, lock washers & hex nuts.

Will this help? It may not be 100% correct, but may answer the "clips" question.
