But what about if I were to run the alarm siren through the fenders - or would it be wise to run it in a some other way?

It would be a big challenge, but I don't think it's impossible :thumb:

- Wed May 05, 2010 1:51 am #191881 ok so i got a question cause i did a mild wire tuck on my car already and wanna go to the next step..

i tucked all my headlight harnesses through the fenders and cleaned all that up

also when i rebuilt my motor i tucked all the wires going to sensors and what not but i left the big band off wire connected at the original areas on both sides

i wanna tuck the rest of the harness and fuse box and move the battery

so my question is that if i pull the harness to the middle of the motor and run it through the fire wall what needs to be done to move the harness from the sides of the car to the middle under the dash?

i really dont wanna remove the dash

let me know thanks

only other question i got is what size hole did you guys drill in the firewall for the wires to run too and you drill from the inside out right?

wanna know as ima be doing this and completing my wire tuck prob friday
