I am ready to route wiring from the engine bay to the cockpit for my AFR meter. I am curious about where folks have routed wires / drilled holes, etc. I know I want to stay away from ignition components based on experience, and it looks like the current wire harness access point is pretty much stuffed. The connector is for an Innovate MTX-L and the connector to feed through to the cockpit is probably 1/2 an inch long, so it is more than fishing a couple wires.....
Appreciate any experience based advice. The exhaust bung is welded in place so this is next on the agenda so I can start working on tuning the D-Jet setup. Kind regards, |

I installed an Innovate O2 sensor and ran the cable through the same hole as the rest of the wiring harness under the engine shelf.
I pulled the bottom of the snorkel loose and then made a spacer out of a piece of a 2" smooth PVC union. The rounded edge of the end of the union just fit around the factory opening in the firewall and the sharp, cut edge fit the snorkel well. I cut a slice of it about 1/2" thick to make an "O", and then cut about a 3/4" section out of the side to create a "C"-shaped piece. I painted it black and after I fished the cable and other harness through the hole behind the snorkel, I slipped the "C"-shaped spacer behind the snorkel and let the added cables run in through the opening in the "C". I then applied a little silicone to make it weather-proof. |
