lansalot Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Along the chassis, and up into the hole on the rear of the battery box ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieMonster Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You fitting a cut off on the dash or something too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeback Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Both of my defenders have had the cables fitted down the chassis leg. As cookieMonster said, are you fitting a cut out switch? Most defneders I have seen have this fitted to the front of the seat box. You really should have one fitted because if the winch was in use and the solenoid stuck, you would have no way of stopping the winch. Its very easy to do but make sure the cables are not rubbing on anything sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalot Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I fit a full heavy-duty cut-off on the passenger footwell side of the battery box. It's a lot of amps to have running around, willy-nilly. Could save a fire, or someone getting caught when a stray remote sets your winch off and running... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren ching Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I sleeved the entire length of my cables with 7/8" ID heater hose. should take a while for that to rub through plus they are cable tied in place along their path. and I even put a heat wrap sleeve where it passes within a few inches of the tdi downpipe.
