Sounds like yours is the international multi-point cage.
The clubman 6 point MSA cage like I have doesn't connect to the turret and doesn't require the extra work for the loom.
Today I popped to Halfords to get some heater hose. Last bit I needed to finish off the coolant hoses. Need to get some edging to go round the hole the hoses pass thru, to stop them rubbing and splitting.
(Yes, there's a couple of jubilee clips to go on too)
Also cracked on with the doorcards...

I've had my loom modified...
Well it's been a while, and progress has slowed a bit lately.
Got the battery cage position sorted.
Also got the T7 heater; which will be my screen demister, mounted on the underside of the bulkhead.
Also got my switches positioned on the top dash. Keeping it simple, so blue = blower...
Where abouts Claire? You need to be careful of things like the pedal box in the driver's footwell.
I think the foam goes a fair way up behind the dash from memory (I should know as I stripped mine out), but can't be 100% sure.
Did you find where the leak was from? Blocked scuttle drains are...
And considering what yours was up for, it makes sense.
Mine has cost me more than that, in buying and converting to a track toy. That's with the car costing less than £400 to buy, and selling bits off it.
