Mustang guys/Questions on hiding wiring harness

[riche]

I am looking to hide as much of the wiring harness under the hood as possible. Is there any tricks and what are some problems that I will probably run into. Any help would be nice.

Thanks
Rich

run them into the rear hole in the shocktowers, you will have to elongate the starter solonoid wires if hiding it in the fender as well as the MAF wires but you can unwrap the wire harness to get a little more length from them.

the firewall main harness goes under the firewall lip to hide it a little more.

remove the wheels and inner fender wells to do it.

you can run in under the fender, on the drivers side, unplug all the harnesses and just run them in the wheelwell same with the hood cable. where it comes in behind the master there is another hole right there and just push them out there so you dont need to drill any holes..

i enlarged existing holes behind both shock towers. i made the mistake of letting the harnesses hang too low when i extended them so they interfere with the fender liners. i need to fix this to things will be properly protected. just keep your bundles as high in the fenders as you can get them.

i also have a rear mount battery, ran the positive cable up to a hole i made in the firewall next to the computer and exits right behind the right front wheel, used a bulkhead connection, did away with the solenoid entirely.

to power the fusible links on the driver's side that normally attach to the solenoid, i ran twin 10 gauge wires from the firewall pass-thru with the main harness around front.

Mkae sure you put the liners back in if it ever sees rain or wet road condition driving..

A few cars I've seen got bad harness rott from getting water puddling/collecting in the harness loom that was sprayed off the tires.
