liam_b · 25th February 2009, 21:40

well got mot restest tomorrow should hopfuly pass only thing im worryd about is emissions

Got my cable braiding on monday so have been doing that all week started it on money but hair dryer set on fire (dont think it liked being on turbo for ten minits) couldnt get hold of a heat gun so did it all with a lighter

Still got more braiding to do as i ran out but looks alot better than the multi colour wiring i had befor plus it protects the wiring from being cut

heres the door speaker wiring befor and after

and half of the amp wiring done

Hi Liam, im doing the same thing as above at the moment putting 2 sets of cables through my doors, tried getting them through the standard plug but its tight as a nuns chuff...
Did you have to remove the doors to drill the holes for the speakers to come through?
I really dont want to pummel 4 holes in my body work as its non reversable and might rust over time, ive got braiding left over from my pc build so might end up doing what you and quite a few others have done above.

Let me know what your thoughts are cheers bud

Lippy · 25th February 2009, 23:49

that looks like the stuff i used to braid all the cables and looms i made for my pc! yeah lighter is what i always use makes it alot easier than hairdriers etc!

good call on the braiding, esp through the doors! what gave you the idea to do that...? lol
