Default Overdrive harness

I am currently reassembling my 1965 p1800 after taking it apart years ago.
I'm trying to connect up the overdrive wiring harness. I made a new one from the original some time ago.

Does the black wire that connects the inhibitor switch on the gearbox to the overdrive solenoid, is it supposed to be in a sleeve/ tube, likewise the wire from the relay to the other side of the inhibitor switch?

Thanks Dave

Thanks rob. The digital camera had not been invented when I started the restoration. Lol.
Some of the notesi I made in biro on labels had faded so much I couldn't read them.
