and help much appreciated

Trav

thats where i'd run it, through the doors, just get a bigger condute to run all the wires through or just run them on the outside, whos gonna notice?

me :D

looks so dodge. its a ***** to run it through that rubber tube. at one stage i tryed take off the door so that the rubber tube ran horizontally straight. lol

howdy,just pull off both ends of the rubber then slide the rubber down the wires into the door,this way itll be straight then put your wire thru it and put the rubber back,Theres a plastic clip/surround that pops off the body where the rubber goes on,pull this off, fit the rubber to it then clip that end back in. thats how I did my speakers. Cheers Shaun U in perth, I can show you. Cheers

ah yeh. not bad. yeh im in perth. come to bowling tonite ;)

What I did in mine was used a length of Cat5e cabeling... (so it has 8 wires in it)
I also pulled through 2 normal wires...
I took of the kick panel under the steering wheel and also the door trims.
I then used a LARGE zip tie (5mm wide quite stiff) I bent the end a little so that it would bend to the way out of the hole at the other end.
I then drilled a hole in the FAT end and threaded through some very strong string (or sold core wire)
carefully insert from the door side into the rubber tube.... you can push the ziptie into the tube and when it starts pushing out into the edge of the rubber just guide it with you other hand... It takes a little to do it.. but it looks so much neater...
I have tried removing it and it make is worse since you are bunching it up even more... the only other way is to remove the door and that means removing the guards etc... FORGET IT!!!

Anyway once you have puttled the string/wire through I then tie a thin knot into the end of the wire I wanted to pull through and then down a little further I tied aother knot with another wire and so-on ... this way you dont have one HUGH knot that you are trying to pull through the thin rubber tube...

I also made sure that there was enough string so that even after I had got the wires through that I wanted to pull there was still some string in there so I could always repull another if needed.

By using the network cat5 cable It has allowed me to have 8 switches on the lower part of my door to switch everthing on and off....
the extra two wires I connected up to (Constant Power +, and Parker Power +)
all of the switches (8) that I installed on the door where then connected to either of the 2 Power wires (depending on what I wanted to switch).. the other side of hte toggle switches where connected to the Network cable and then once inside the car I stripped back the cables and ran them to where ever they needed to go.
I have some pics if you want.. just let my know and Ill post them up.

Sorry to waffle on.
