I ran all the wires through split conduit and left the wires bare where I needed them. ie. 3 wires each side for lights and indicators, 1 for thr fog
light, 1 for the fuel tank, and one for the fuel pump, 1 for the handbrake switch. Run about 4 earth wires as well. Then fastened it onto the chassis
rail so the tunnel was finished to get the prop in, the same as your thinking
Just leave plenty at the ends for when you wire them up. I used plugs at the front so the rear harness comes apart from the front bit.
Cheers,

I'm planning on using 7 core trailer cable. perfect for the job. May have to run 2 lots though or just a couple of extra cables.

I've done mine p clipped ever 6 inches but i think 150mm is what is in the sva manual. Make sure its protected )that corregated plastic tube
stuff is good). Its recommended to keep it as far away as possible in the tunnel from the fuel and braking pipes also.

On mine, the fuel and wiring are run in a steel tube, welded down the inside of the tunnel.
It proved its worth when I broke a prop shaft which flailed around and partially flattened the tube (though the "contents" were safe).
Had the steel tube not been there, there's every likelihood both the wiring and fuel lines would have been cut, which would have made hitting
the brakes to stop an interesting (and incendiary) experience with cut fuel lines and cut wiring right beside me!
Prop shaft hoops are also highly recommended as a result!!

Can anyone confirm this, I've done mine to 250mm between clips because I thought the sva regs were 300mm?
Please get back if you know as I'll have to drill some more holes if thats the case.

Your right Mark, SVA book state 300mm max for wiring (exept where it goes through hollow components). No measure ment is listed for brake or fuel
pipes; Just properly secured.
