Building MP5A5 (need help)

So im building an mp5, and its almost complete. Im just missing my spring guide (it flew out and i cant find it) and i sold my front sight and havent replaced it yet. Anywhos i just installed a Systema front wiring kit on it (since everyone kept telling me that MP5a5 is front wired (even though the manufacturer's insist that its rear wired) But its physically impossible to wire it using a front wire kit. The body has no openings for the wires at all.

So now i have an mp5 where the body will not close (due to the lack of openings for a front wire kit)

Can someone please give me a heads up on what i should do next?

The switch assembly inside the Mp5 gearbox is rear wired, there's separate external wiring assembly that routes to the front on the outside of the gearbox.

Hey, I thought the same thing while working on my mp5a5. It is wired to the back as well, but then the wires take a turn and run up a groove inside the body on the right side of the mechbox. Its the groove above where the stock slide is set in. Then the wires tuck in to the right of the hop-up and through the small hole underneath the barrel in the handguard.

I was tempted to get the same kit but I had a feeling that it wouldnt work out.

thats what i origionally thought. But it was impossible for me to find that external wiring kit. After asking around a few other gundocs if they had one. A few of them insisted that i was "out of my mind" and that "all mp5s are front wired" etc. This being my First MP5 (built it from scratch), I beleived him dispite the fact that i was sure it was rear wired. Now i waited a month for this systema front wire kit and i find out i was right all along *sigh* I feel like smacking some "select" people around for wasting my money :/

Juggles can you get your hands on one of these fabled rear to front wire kits for me?
