Hi all again.
This may sound simple, but....
Where is the best routing for the rear wiring 'loom' please?
Is it supposed to enter the prop shaft tunnel behind the dash and re-enter the car, somewhere in the fuel tank cavity?
Has anyone got any recommendations for decent wire protection sleeve/wrap/etc please?

Hi Matt,

I ran mine from the fuel tank cavity all the way inside the car to where it needed to go.

Less chance of it getting damaged then and its easier to repair.

Cheers, Finn

Wouldn't it be better inside the Car along under the Passenger Door then into the Tank Area on the left. This where the Fuel Line comes in and if you fit an Electric Fuel Pump it's near . Maybe Electric Aerial also. You could use a Trailer Cable already sheathed and colour coded.

Taimar but guess it'a all similar? Took mine through the passenger side sill, out of sight and out of harm wink

Some simple but good ideas thank you.
I hadn't given it any thought to extend its current route across to N/S and along the sill, arch and into the tank cavity. Doh!
I'll need to cut and add another connecting to extend but that sounds by far the safest way.
Regards.

When extending the harness choose a point along its length that will be inside the cabin and then cut it, don't cut all of the cables to the same length, cut the cables at different lengths ....approx 60mm from one cut to the next......now when you solder in and heat-shrink the new longer cables you will have what's known as staggered joints......staggered joints prevent a bulky loom in one area and there is no chance of the connections shorting together in the loom
