#1 Wiring Routing Boot Through To Front Bulkhead ?

Post by rfs1957 » Thu Nov 02, 2023 11:37 am

I've done this before, six years ago.

But that was six years ago, and now I'm not so sure.

Is the sleeving on the two harnesses that run through the cockpit destined to sit in the corners of the rear haunches, and be retained in position by a bit of contact adhesive ?

The length of it works perfectly, and it would be a much nicer way of running the harnesses like that, rather than gluing them directly to hold them in place pre-trimming, like I did last time.

Image

But that sleeving might also be destined to protect the harnesses as they run around the boot-hinge area.

Anyone who knows which is correct, or can say what they did and why, would find a ready audience.

We route it like that in the belief that the glue could damage the loom.

Do they not run through grommets in those holes just above the sill and then up and over the rea wheel arches? They do on my FHC but that doesn't necessarily mean very much.

I'm sure Angus knows best.

If you can't make it work, make it complicated!

Stu, you are right! I didn't even look as I thought Rory only wanted the answer on the sleeving. The sleeving is still used there as the bottom of the rear bulkhead is glued.

See, I didn't know best! :oops:
