Rolls Royce Merlin Firewall - Pics/Diagrams?

Happy new year all.

Am just getting to the firewall on my Tamiya 1/32 Spit Mk IX and cant find any decent references for the layout of the plumbing on the firewall and how/if it links to the engine itself. If anyone could spare a couple of mins to point me in the right direction I’d be much obliged! I had a quick look around the FS site but couldn’t pick anything up through my searches so apologies if I’m treading old ground.

Google Images is your friend. 10 seconds worth of looking found 100’s of photos. Use Spitfire IX Merlin as the search term.

Try this one:

Thanks the reply richs26. Unfortunately Google is largely silent on the firewall. Due to its position behind the engine it is inevitably obscured in almost every picture.
