How much protection do cables have to have, will a plastic conduit in the tunnel do? I don't see the real necessity if the prop goes its going to go through a cable no bother.. conduit or no conduit.

I used spiral wrap throughout - my philosophy is, if the propshaft lets go, the state of the wiring is a minor concern! I'll be more concerned about the state of my vital bits!

On a more practical note, the most convenient option is probably split conduit - dirt cheap and easy to use.

I agree with david,split conduit comes in many sizes and is very easy to fit and add too as well.

I'm with David and Bob too

im with david bob and ben too

For the prop shaft area (which carries all wires back) and the main loom to bonnet (carries wires forwards) I used plastic conduit.

This is because it allows extra wires to be added if needed without spending a month with spiral wrap.

Altho spiral wrap works well, it looks pretty crap, and I havnt seen it used much in the electronics industry.

Under the scuttle and in other 'short run' places, I have used 6mm and 10mm plastic sleeving.

Cable ties are used a fair bit behind the dash, to hold a mish mash of wires that head everywhere. Wires in this area are not ' exposed ' and the scuttle / dash basically forms a big junction box.
