its quite hard to make wiring look neat.......my wiring was described as looking like an alfresco dining accident outside an italian restaurant.
Thats cos its all yellow and the ends are not connected to anything
What I did was run three key lengths of flexy conduit. This is a bit like 'ribbed hose pipe' and it abount an inch in diameter.
On my car, the dash covers the larger part of the gearbox area as it comes from the bulkhead. So, at this point I made three holes to take conduit /
trunking.
one goes to the gearbox, carrying speed sensor wires and reverse wires.
One goes forward over the gearbox, runs across the drivers side and then to the front of the driver side where it runs to the distribution point for
all the lights. (I have another loom, not in trunking, thats the std ignition loom from the donor - that comes out the passenger side.
A third conduit runs from the gearbox cover area down the tranny tunnel, over the diff and supplied the rear lights and fuel tank / pump sensors.
A furthe bit of trunking runs across the rear of the dash, and acts as a route for switches and stuff.
It still looks like a spaghetti accident tho!
