I'm just beginning work routing and securing wires forward of the firewall. One of the first wires I secured was the starter cable from the starter contactor to the starter. I wanted to get some feedback on whether the way I've secured and routed it is appropriate. Here are some pictures.
Beginning with the contactor which is in the standard position.
I route it straight from the contactor to the engine mount on the lower opposite side of the engine.
From there the wire takes a gentle half loop and is attached further up to the next engine mount support bar.
Then it goes inside the intake manifold pipes and the exhaust pipes up to the middle-side sump bolt.
Finally it goes from the middle sump bolt to the starter.
Each of these hops is about 10 inches long. The last hop is more like 8. The cables are the welding-type cables from B&C.
What do yo think?
Thanks,
