discomikey Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 one of my pet hates is messy wiring. now, when i rebuild brian ALL wires will be hidden, mostly not a problem the problem occurs where i have my radio, speakers, beacon switch, rear work lights switch, interior light (when fitted) in the home made roofliner ( which solves the problem of wiring around the top of the cab as will be hidden by this. but how do i get the wires up the side of the screen discreetly? before, it was all black wires cable tied together neatly and the cable ties were screwed into the windscreen self tappers. which is quite neat but annoyed me. so what im after is something like on the defender i could stick up the pillars to hide the wires. obviously i dont think defender ones will fit as theres nothing to screw them too unlike on defenders. i would much rather have a piece of trim than convoluted tubing aswell.

Landy-Novice Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 what about heat shrink wrap? or could you not run it round the inside lip and down behind you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 You could run them up the split in the middle of the screen, there's a little room underneath or you could attach a slightly more spacious bit of trunking to it, wouldn't intrude too much.

discomikey Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 if it runs down in front or behind, its still there tbh, heat shrink would be ok i guess. the only other thing i can think of is moulding some pillar trims from fibreglass.

FridgeFreezer Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Run it back & up the B-pillar? That's where my tbox breathers go - stops the pillar from rusting too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
