Electrics from cab to engine bay?

Muskett · Aug 14, 2020

Is there an easy route to get cables from the foot well in the cab area to the engine bay? I really don't want to take the dashboard out.

I took one cable through the bonnet opening lever hole.

Will look, was hoping for passanger side.
Have eight cables to get through which adds up to 1/2 inch of hole needed. Or four each side as half are relay wires to switches next to the fuse box.

Access to the cable grommets is really difficult, as it's high on the bulkhead.

I did get a couple of cables through on the driver's side, but it took the use of an electrician's cable pull rod to do it. There's enough space for several thin cables, once you work out how to get them through.

Thank you for the heads up. Don't think thats going to work for me.
Next try will be to take the passenger side wheel and wheel arch trim off and see if there is something there. Might have to add another hole to the sieve!
