Rob_Mitchell Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ordered a Brand new race Radiator tonight, should take a couple of days. Been thinking about the two wire going to the brake fluid sensor and instead of wrapping in orange tape, i am going to try and lightly headshrink orange heatshrink tube around it. Thats the only wires visible that side and its annoying they can be seen. All good fun hiding stuff though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Just cut them off rob, or if you want to keep it extend the wires to run into the scuttle where the wiper motor is and through the hole on the bulkhead. Id relocate that brake booster too if I were you. You can use the same hole. :-) Edited July 27, 2011 by hodge (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/sleeving/sleeving.php Black fibreglass braided sleeving, used this to make the entire underbonnet loom on my mustang. Looks great, isnt too dear, comes in all different sizes, and is heat resistant Just stick some heatshrink on the ends and voila, neatness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what i have done will look cool just need the orange heatshrink. I like my chromed brake servo pipe and it looks nice fitted along the back of the engine bay.

Rob_Mitchell Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 When's the engine going in Rob. cheers mate i think im going to ditch the sensor then as i have got the neat bug. Lee from SRD is coming down the garage one day after suprapod and doing all the engine loom (cutting bits off and extending wires ect) then its ready to go in mate. I still need some things for the engine though. i need the rubber water hoses for the oil filter cooler, so anyone if you have them let me know?

Rob_Mitchell Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Cracked on again today and all the loom is now tucked up nice under the wings, just need to mount my fuse box but im waiting for the power steering cooler off lee so i can get it all mounted nice. Removed the sensor out the brake resevoir tank, all the area is done now and not a single wire in sight ... its going to be a long time consuming process doing all this and i really want to drop the engine in now Edited July 29, 2011 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
