Hey guys,

I have another problem. My et has had the battery put into the boot and while i have the engine out i thought i would clean up the positve and negitive wires as they havent been doone to my standards.

My problem is that they have ran the wires under the car which is ok, down the side under the car is a nice pce of condu(if thats how it is spelt) but when it get to the engine bay they have just ran the cable where eva and zip tied it to the steering colume and s*#t like that. I am going to run it threw the guard or somehwere else if some has a better place to run the cable.But my question is what should i use to cover the wires that is strong enough to with stand a rock or pot hole for the bends in the wire under the car?

Thanks
David

I'm using some steel conduit that I had laying around at work, then once it's in the bay where it has to bend it's in flexi conduit. But it's in no danger of damage there.

Did you run your cable threw the front guard or just under the car??

It'll come up into the engine bay and there'll be a distribution block on the firewall that'll feed the starter motor and other stuff.
