Sorry for the continuous questions but there is little by way of information over this side of the pond
I have been putting the console together and when I compared the gauge wiring harness to the wiring in the car there isn’t anything I can see that matches
The car is a 75 1.8
Should the wiring be part of the harness at the dash end or engine end?
Also the fit is way off
The side panel is up against the accelerator pedal and the heater lever is no where near fitting through
Photos to illustrate
Thank you

There is a crappy console in the classifieds for sale. You could rob that piece as they seem to have fallen off the edge of the Earth. The heater lever is an on-off item that goes to earth and completes the circuit for the heater blower motor. There is a small harness for the console gages. They are plentiful. IIRC, the wiring schematic for the console gauges is on a separate page in the Haynes manual toward the end of the schematics section. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
EDIT: I may have that lever. I'll look around this morning. If so, you can have it for shipping costs.Wait a minute. I can see the lever in your pic. You just need the red knob for it. The 2 console brackets will hold the console in the correct position so it won't touch the pedal but it is close. You'll get used to it. Also, that lever should center up once the console is properly attached.
