Default Saph Cossi Engine bay loom

My car is coming on nicely .
I put the ecu in and the engine bay wiring loom.
The connecter were the engine bay loom joins the main loom is missing.
1 st question is behind the ecu up inside the dash is a loom that goes across the top with a connector.
Is this the connector the engine bay loom joins.
Any advice or pics on this area of the car would be helpful.
Also any advice or pics on the ecu proper bracket locations.
not the main ecu as that one was easy.
My mechanic has just thrown em behind the glove box.
I at some point will have to open the can of worms and find proper homes for the ecu's ect

If 4wd, they live behind the glovebox rear area.
The main connector the ecu plugs into is normally tucked behind the massive loom that runs across the base of the screen area inside the car, it will have 6 wires coloured,
Thin green = tacho
Red/blue = Permanent live
Black = switched live(ignition)
Black/red = fuel pump live output
Brown/white = temp sender for GAUGE
Brown/red = air con

The black wire seems to come through the fire wall into the engine bay and then just stops .
If it is the switched live(ignition)
should this then be connected to the red live of the battery.

Ive done the black wire.
I seen the same type of wire bolted onto the positive red side of the battery.
I reconnected it.
I think it is the ignition positive.
I am looking at the breather system and starter moter small wire.
What is the colour of the starter moter wire.
Is it like a orange and blue and comes of the n/s chassis rail area near the front earthing point.
I would like a pic of were the small starter moter wire comes from.
I think its were the green coil wire comes from.
Any pictures of the breather system or a diagram would be good.
Or even a discription would help.
Cheers
