Wiring tips needed
No specific problems with my wiring but I thought I might ask if anyone has any tips from there experiences????
My bought wiring loom seems way to big but I am constantly loathed to cut it down as what if I need the length later. Tempted to bundle all the
excess wire behind the dash but this goes against the grain. I do mild electrics (240v) in my job and I find 'tidy, well thought out wiring =
no problems' and 'Big bundle of cables stuffed together in a cupboard = trouble'

excess wire doesn't have to be a mess.. if its your loom and its all neatly spiral wrapped together there shouldn't be a problem having a
nice neat coil behind the dash... just take the time to bundle it together neatly

I absolutely HATE wires and hoses that are too long for the application. Trim them to suit I say! If you do have to extend something at a later
date, then it's only a 2 minute job with the soldering iron or some butt-crimps!

I trimmed down the loom where it was stupidly long. Elsewhere I doubled up the excess cable and neatly cable tied it to chassis rails. Two years later
it still looks good.

A few small well placed coils won't really be a bad idea behind the dash, it'll make fitting and removing it a damn site easier.
Initially i'd get everything working before trimming cables back then adjust them once you've seen all your lights/gagues and engine
working as they should.
Might prove handy if you decide to change things too.

DO NOT coil it. Rather route it back and forth like the shape of a trombone. Or shorten it. Personnally I'd do the later.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
