hi,

i ran all my aux wires under van, keeping them tucked up and safe. I
had the idea of running them in a 3/4" black plastic irrigation hose,
makes fishing wires much easier. hose terminates to the left of rad
and at other end at left hand side of engine compartment. you could
pre-insert wires before securing tubing/hose.

Also leaving a dummy wire in hose makes pulling future wires easier.

anyhoo, you get the gist.

Hi all.

Am installing head temp VDO today.

Does anyone know what the best route for the VDO
sending wire is?

I would like to run it under van, (van has sheet metal
shield underneath)
but need to know how/where to fish sender wire through
to dash.

FWIW, gas heater and stock heater are removed. Is it
possible to fish VDO wire where gas heater wires run??

Mucho TIA,

Neil Nicholson.
