O/D Cable Routing.. a picture would be great

[Shoebox]

I'm installing the O/D cable in my '51 Tudor (previously not overdrive). I have the under dash mounting bracket, located hole in firewall, and of course have the O/D trans in. I'd like to route the cable per original, I can make my best guess but,.....if anyone has or was willing to take a pic of the under hood routing I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

I did a search on this question ( I know, should have done that first) and it took me to the same question asked by tubman back in 2019. The folks who responded posted the pics I needed!

We’ve got two typical layouts illustrated in the Ford chassis parts books that might be useful. Neither one is year specific to what you have so you should see them more as a guide.

Thanks Mac, by the way this is the trans you built for me.

Found these on the internet. Just finished this on the 49 woodie.
One pic is from a Tubman post from long ago.
Use some non stick lube for the OD cable. I thought they were teflon lined.
I made those parts - clamps, bracket on the trans and steering box clamp.
