Default Chassis wiring

Hi Phil and Keith,

As some famous Chinese guy once said "One picture is worth a thousand words"

Thanks for that photo Keith and thanks for the links Phil. Some real good advice and information there for anyone making their own harnesses for any vehicle.

Like you said, Phil, the chance of shorting is high due to rubbing of the wires at many places along the chassis. I have used bitumen impregnated cotton wiring conduit at a number of places to help prevent chafing. In fact Ford used it on their HT wire leads where they cross the engine from one bank to the other and on the coil to distributor wire. I have used it to sheath the wires from the fuel sending units through the chassis to the chassis harness, the horn wire through the chassis, and at a number of other places. Comes in various sizes: 3/16"ID for one wire, 1/4" ID for two wires and 5/16" ID for three wires, plus larger sizes. 1/4" ID is the same stuff used on Ford Fuel lines as a type of insulation. See attached.

Cheers,

Cheers,
