Default Hiding the loom on an ERST

for people who've done it do you have to extend any part. is it a big job?
i had this hole on mine and i was gonna make it bigger and feed the loom through the inner wing, through the front of the crossmember (instead of ontop of it) and bring it out somewhere under/behind the metering unit to go to all those parts there.


what do i do about it rubbing the strut tops etc etc and does it catch anywhere else?

thanks.

Fit a grommet - should solve the rubbing through any holes

Im putting mine through the inner wing just as it leaves the fuse box, run it along the wheel arch side of the inner wing with std wiring loom clips only on the other side of where they usually are, through a hole in chassis leg (original hole lol) and down behind rad, not done it yet so dont know how much if any I need to extend loom, going Omex too so that will come through the bulkhead from behind the dash and up onto the inlet/coilpack etc.

i done it to mine, drilled a hole and gromet infront of the fuse box and another underneath the headlight to bring the loom up then it runs along the front panel, drivers side headlight loom needed extending a tiny bit as i had brackets welded to the inner arch with the loom running inside conduit, hope this helps
