Hello all,



I have routed my trunk wires in the method you describe, and plan to run my

A/C hoses there as well.  I'm going to take a piece of sheet aluminum about

three inches tall and three feet long or so, and screw it to the side of the

square channel that runs front-to-back inside the inner wheel house.  Since

the sheet metal then bends towards the outside of the car, the top of this

strip of aluminum will be pressed right up against the bottom of the inner

wheel house, forming a hollow cavity large enough to contain both hoses and

the wiring.  By screwing it in (instead of riveting), I can remove it to

change hoses when they blow up, etc.



I've 'dressed' all my exposed wiring harnesses in readily-available wiring

harness dressing.  You know, the grooved, flexible plastic tubing with a slit

all the way down the side.  It's cheap insurance to protect the harness.



Okay, I'll be off-line for the next several weeks, so ta-ta...



Mike
