#1 Starter motor cable route.

Post by Stevejaguar » Sat Apr 19, 2025 9:20 pm

Hi, Series 1, 2+2.
I have routed my starter motor cable from the battery area, across the lower picture frame and am now going up the engine frame diagonal towards the starter motor. When I get to the area of the engine mounting does the cable go over or under the engine mounting ? Both leave the cable against the edges of the mounting area on the frame. Or does it go outside the the mounting area altogether ?
Thanks
Steve

Hi, thanks for the photos. l have now outed the cable along the underside of the top engine frames. This way it avoids all sharp edges etc.
