Wire Tuck Thread

Haha, I'm reinvigorated to do that ABS relocate he did. Paul, nothing special needed for that? Just straighten out the piping and reroute?

nope, i used my vice to straighten all the factory lines. then used my craftsman bender and bent them the way they needed to be bent, just had to test fit to see which line would work the best in each location. i did re-bend and weld the factory mount to the frame, i cant remember if i added any more metal to it but shouldnt be to hard to figure it out. factory harness was long enough to reach.

Sweet, I'll knock that out when I get back from deployment. I looked at it again and MAN, that will clear up a lot of space up top. Can't wait!

Since my car is mostly race only i decided to ditch the abs/brake booster and power steering. Really cleaned up the bay on the right side and lost some more weight to make up for the 4r70w i'm about to install soon. Sorry for the bad picture quality but it gives you guys a better idea how your engine bays will look without them if you are that hardcore

That looks great!

Took a few minutes to reroute the driver's side cowl cable from above the brake booster to underneath it. Thanks for the idea one eyed willy and LASTang1234! Made room for a distribution Y-Block for my return style fuel system install in the process.

After:



Y-Block mocked up:

how many feet of each wire gauge do you think is necessary? I am getting ready to start this project on my car.

2 hours into my tuck and then I think to myself, "only 38 more hours to go!" Fml

Good start! just take your time and it will go by faster than you think.

^ thanks..it's not only the tuck, but cleaning years of engine crap off everything as well.

 

[onehotpny]

yep, how well I know. the tuck takes time to do,labeling all the wires is time consuming,only thing i didn't do is relocate the smart junction box. might do that at a later date.

^ yeah I'm relocating everything I can at one time..converting coolant system to 07+, battery to trunk, and just making room for the inevitable r spec and 3.4 whipple

 

[richman]

Slow progress..3 hours into it

 

[richman]

By the way!!! Fuck the 05-06 coolant hose assembly..what a pita it was!!!

 

[06gtmustang]

Yup the newer setup is a lot better.

 

[richman]

Well got these from Fed Ex today...must resist..buying...rest...of...build.......staying focused on wire tuck.....hah.

 

[richman]

I still have a s**t ton of work left but...small victories are important! !!
