Surreptitious.....

Oh... I'd almost forgotten this..................

While Mark was running the wiring, a solution had to be found for making sure there would be no cut wiring do to sheetmetal bends, or pass-thru's. We needed grommets for the wires to pass neatly through and protect them against chafing.




What you see above is a 3 photo panel. top showing the type of pass-thru we used, 2nd and 3rd showing the harness and "the grommet used".



If you look carefully, "the grommet used", was not a grommet at all... it is a piece of 3mm(1/8") vacuum hose that has been slit from one end to the other, it is then fed around the outside of the hole....... custom body grommet.

A much neater job can be done *IF* you do it BEFORE the harness is there... the harness found permanence before I had a chance to grommet the hole. IDEALLY... the seam is at the bottom where the harness hides it




This system will also be used on the oil cooler pass thru, as it is on this section where the alternator part of this new harness passes back into the engine compartment....



This one is NOT finished... it was done this way temporarily to show as an example, I need a longer section of hose to accomplish this and keep it clean



Oh.... btw.... under the headlamp you can spy one of the two large horns mounted to scare wanna-bees, and old people.

As re-assembly occurs, I'm hoping to beat rattles and squeaks before they occur!
Here is the "A" pillar interior molding.

Note the foam tape added. This is to attempt to keep trim rattles to a minimum.

Each "B" pillar has also gotten the foam treatment as well. I won't be able to stop all of the rattles and squeaks, but I will be able to stop more then it could originally without the foam treatment.
