Think I used a lengh of fencing wire or something, took a few attempts but got it through in the end.

Put a flexible fish through first then make a rod with a circle on the end from a piece of wire to hook it up and grab with long nose pliars through the chassis hole then attach a cord and pull through...fuse box go modern blade...are you ok with doing electrics just asking cause some of your other threads were a bit scratching my head here what am I missing here...electrics are not the same as nuts and bolts...

I use carbuilders solutions they send down here and have everything...sometimes you have to go out of the 4x4 suppliers... @Stanlysteamers you kit car builders know that though...

This site lets you buy correct colour coded wire by the meter
Basket (autoelectricsupplies.co.uk)
This type of fuse holder is good one common input.

The series 3 has a multi pin plug by steering column series 2A does not.
So wires will not reach your dash connections and you will end up cutting the plugs off.
By the steering column is not a good location for lots of joints without proper connector.
