    Feeding the rear loom through 110 chassis

    I'm about to give up and run convoluted loom tubing along the the top of RH chassis rail.......

    I removed the rear loom as part of the chassis galvanising process and now reassembly has commenced. For the life of me I cant feed a pull wire through from front to rear or vise versa. I've tried welding wire, fencing wire, even a steel tape all to no avail. How did they do it in the factory?

    Maybe theres some blobs of zinc impeding the process.

    Anyway, does anyone see a problem running it along the top of the chassis in that split black convoluted loom tubing, the fuel and brake lines dont seem to suffer from being there....?

    I'm in the process of doing the same thing right now, and I feel ya brother......I've gone one step further and lost the wire I was feeding up there into the chassis . I'm going to the hardware today to look for one of those drain snakes, I rekon they'll be the go. I got a piece on wire almost all the way through but I had to twist the wire around as the chassis have plates down the center of it, so you have to get the wire through the gaps in the plates (not easy when considering the shape of the chassis)
    I'll let you know how I go with the drain snake.

    Cheers

    Is there anything those strips can't do??
    They are the best things for feeding wires anywhere.

    You're a legend!

    I had two strips in the shed from a recent reno - they were sitting right next to where I'm working on the landy! Talk about not seeing the obvious.
    Anyway, I joined the two together with duct tape because one on its own wasn't long enough and after about 5mins of wiggling - it went right through.

    Awesome.

    Good to see you got yours through, not quite sure what floor sheeting is but I bet if I saw some I would have thought " that looks like it would be great for feeding wire through my chassis " , must be of similar design to the drain snake. It went through like a champion, and I now have rear wiring.

    when you go to the hardware store....have a look at the floor sheeting..
    or floating floors.....
    they have a tongue and groove joint....the tongue is a plastic strip which runs the length of the board....

    you will find lots of uses for one of these strips.......
