cable ties

Hi guys

Finally managed to beat the electrics, and all wiring is sleeved in split tubing. I was just wondering is it acceptable to cable tie rear cables to the frame of the car. Or should I bracket it to free.

Cheers

Providing there is nothing going to chaff then fine to cable tie. We usually make 10mm long rubber "stand offs" made from petrol hose or similar, looks neater & keeps everything with a bit of "wiggle room".

Also worth noting IVA don't like the stick on cable tie bases and remember to keep the spacing below 300mm
