Took the day off work, getting alot done (finally) on the SDS install. The WMS wideband will end up on the dash, and has some fairly large cables/connectors to run back to the wideband sensor and connections to the SDS ecu. I was going to run this all thru the driver side heater passage in the rocker box. While I expect there is no need for ELECTRICAL shielding in this area, how about PHYSICAL shielding. I'd hate to have a wire rub raw in the rocker box area and short out the wideband.
So, how much protection will the wires running thru this area need? And, when I'm done for the day I'll take some progress photos and post to my SDS thread. |

QUOTE whats inside the heater passage in the rocker box? Rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Actually there's a heater tube in there. Someone should have pics. Probably a decent pic in my -6 restoration thread search "fixing the six". It might give you an idea where the cable could be run. Use rubber grommets on the holes the cable goes through... fairly common. |

So if I'm getting this right, there are no bits of sharp pointy metal in there, and running the wires thru this area should require no special care. I was planning to put the wires in some sort of sheathing before running them thru this area, just wasn't sure how bullit proof the sheathing needed to be. Or should I just run them thru?
And, for blocking off the ends of the heat passages, I found these at the local hardware store, which are rubber and pressure fit right over the ends. 2.99 each. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Go ahead and bundle your wires with a large piece of heat shrink. You will be fine.

...And, for blocking off the ends of the heat passages... IIRC, spray-can lids work also. And they come in lots of colors, so you can coordinate with the rest of the car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) --DD |

I was doing the spray can lid thing before, but wanted something a little better for running the wires. I thought with the heat in the area, wires going thru the cap, well, I just was looking for something better, and for 2.99 a piece, I got 4, 2 for in the car, 2 for in the engine room. Call me a big spender...

Those are some amazing photos! I'll be running my wires thru there for the wideband O2 system, and expect I'll just find some rubber hose or something of the correct I.D. to use as a sort of a flexable conduit, then attach the conduit to the rubber end caps I found. I'll add some photos to the SDS thread tomorrow night when I'm done.

Yeah... if you're capping it of and there's no heat simply run it through the tube. It comes out in the right spot.
