[QUOTE="venom, post: 1315113, member: 9290"] I am not looking forward to this part at all. I have been doing other projects around the house to avoid tackling this part of the build. Thanks, it came out better than what I expected. I am surprised how simple it was to setup. Since Dalamar has brought up wiring here are some pics. I am using self fusing tape for the first layer and Tesa tape for exterior to wrap wires. Tesa tape is used in BMWs and other German vehicles for wiring. It is extremely flexible and looks real good plus easy to use. This is easy compared to what I have to deal with the MS. [IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/IMG_7126_zpsc8501481.jpg[/IMG] Here you can see that I left some of it wrapped with silicon tape and other with Tesa tape so you can see the difference. If you use thick silicon tape make sure not to wrap it super tight as it will cause the loom to not be flexible. You can use the Tesa tape by itself but I feel better wrapping it with both. I may use only the Tesa tape when it comes to interior and one or two wire runs that are not by the headers. [IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/IMG_7130_zpsed1b69e8.jpg[/IMG] I cut out some of the factory cable's push tabs. You may wrap them up with Tesa tape and push them in existing holes. [IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/IMG_7131_zpsd650e08a.jpg[/IMG] Here is how I wrapped the drivers side. You can see the factory wiring main power cable to battery in the rear and -6 line for overflow canister. [IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/IMG_7137_zps006302bd.jpg[/IMG] Here is the Factory relay box. I don't plan on ever opening this guy up but if I do I can. Don't mount it where its going to be impossible for you to work on it as there is plenty of room under the fender. You can see the plastic rivets also some surface rust which I am going to sand and put some paint on it. [IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/IMG_7139_zps5e1300c5.jpg[/IMG] Make sure cable are high as the inner fender covers won't fit if anything is routed to close to the opening.
