Keeping loom tidy under scuttle
How have people fixed the loom beneath the scuttle to make things neat and keep Mr SVA happy ?
I was thinking of a aluminum bracket fitted to the chassis rails with screw down tie wrap holders. Any other options ?
Photos would be nice
Thanks

Behind my scuttle is a bar. I cable tied the main loom to it so the wires all routed to the correct areas for switchgear etc. This kept it all high
and out of harms way. Relays are mounted on a plastic plate above passenger side foot well - neat and insulated. Any stray wires were also cable tied
nice and high.
I have seen some installs were plastic panels have been fitted above feet to keep wires behind. I didnt do this and SVA was still happy.
Just make sure they are all secure, neat and up out of the way - nice and simple.

I have built a different type of car, but I have used rivnuts and 'P'clips.

I cable tied the wiring to make sure there was nothing really loose, then fitted a panel.. in my case made from an old bath side panel: nice and
flexible to fit and cuts easily. I later covered it with some spare blue Fablon to match the rest of the car. Job done!
