Wiring through bulkhead

Post by Joe87 »

What's the easiest way to do this? I need to run a couple of wires for oil pressure/temp senders from the engine bay into the cabin but I can't figure out any easy way to do it.

I tend to use the grommets in the bulk head. Piece of string taped to a coat hanger, pass it through then use the string to pull the wires through. Doesn't damage anything as long as you're careful.
PS, have you still got my spare gauge?

Where do they come out inside the car, are they easy to access? Couldn't see anywhere obvious where they come through...

Yep I still have your gauge :) Yours whenever you want it...

The easiest one is behind the fuse box, comes out just below the scuttle in the bay and it's fairly big as it holds a few wires.
Gauge wise just post it or hang onto it until one of the shows. No rush, just very absent minded and forgot where it was.
