Brought mine up through the tunnel - only have one hole in the scuttle for the OMEX wiring- all looks nice and neat (honest).

Cabling in the engine bay is all clipped to the underside the top chassis rails to hide it from view as much as possible.

Everthing was finally wrapped in split convoluted tube before being fixed with clips to the bulkhead / chassis etc

I also made up a plate with some rivnuts in it for the relays. Tip: Mark the holes, with the Relays FITTED to the holders. I didnt
