After a water test we found a leak so yesterday we did a little more work on my hidden wiring.

We have since drilled a fresh hole to run the wiring through and situated the large white drainage pipe back to its original location.

We have yet to water test it but it should be fine now.

battery to boot isnt all that complicated.

The one thing i did find, was that in the end i had to run 2 cables to the front, both positive and negative to keep a good power supply.

I tucked mine up beside the rail underneath the car.

here are the only two I have as yet. need to take more when the speakers come out.

All worked well once we remembered to put the lead from the engine to earth on lol was hopeless before we did that

And that was when I rang Jeremy and told him going to Nats is out as the damn car wont start. His reply was " I will fix" and he did

The battery is well secured and has the lid securely in place although pics dont show that.

The wiring harness that ran along the passengers side of the engine now sits along the passengers rocker cover, I will get a photo of that later and we finally got around to tidying up the plug leads just prior to Nats.

Cheers
Alan

Here are the final shots of the hidden engine bay wiring:

Perhaps not totally hidden but neat enough and well out of the way.

And this is all you can now see of the brake lines.

when you ran the hose for your window washer bottle, where did u run it to bring it back to the water squirters?
my wiring is hiden in a very similar way but i i couldn't find an efficient way of running the squirter hose.
those head light plugs you used where they brought from and auto parts shop or scavenged from another car?

Hi Tomo

I will get a photo of the washer bottle lines tomorrow, right now I cant remember what we did to hide them if anything???
The headlight plugs were always a part of my car, they never changed just the way the wiring is run has changed.

The washer line runs throw a hole just under the washer bottle then down under the xcross member bolts and back up the back of the motor
The new plugs for the light were bought new from battery World

I dont remember us changing the plugs - there you go, we must have

Thanks for that Jeremy, I obviously forgot all about this thread and the question asked. sorry.

I hid mine as well...I kept the cowl drain in the same spot, just ran the wiring under it (it's well sealed so no water will get in) I hid the a/c lines as well you can see too!

You can see I just added a couple of tangs to the inner guard area to support the wiring.
