On a LHD car, there should be two small holes to the left of the steering
wheel, the heater control goes in the inboard of those two holes.  The OD
switch goes in the outer hole.  Supposedly, cars without the options had the
holes, but they were left covered with vinyl.  All of mine have had the
holes (even the car without a factory heater), but I've heard some dashes
were lacking the OD hole.

On a LHD 59, the speedo should be on the right.  It was moved there so the
passenger could see the odometer during rallies.  The washer pump is what
goes in the triangle between the ammeter (which should be on the lower right
on a LHD car) and the glovebox door.  TeriAnn Wakeman has kindly posted a
