Getting any holes I need sorted before paint. Since my rollcage triangulation goes through the original wiring loom hole, I've decided to take some inspiration from Benn and Prey's latest wiring loom progress to run it here:

Handy hole from the side repeater I can use for the loom to enter the car:

Not as much as I had hoped but all the loom extension soldering should be inside the car:

Loom will enter the engine bay here, haven't got a side repeater to hand, but this should clear everything yes? It's pretty much in the middle of the slam where it meets the wing:

On second thoughts looking at these pics, once it's soldered up it won't be removable lol Any suggestions for this? Or just bigger holes and grommets?
tidy work, everything should miss it fine. if not then dont run any side reps. :)
Cheers Brucer, a very practical resolution; just remove anything that isn't gonna fit right!
Sorted this now. Just holesaw'd the loom holes to 38mm and going to order two headlamp grommets designed for a 'Triumph TR6/T120 (1962-70), TR7/T140 (1973-), BSA A65 (1971-72) and many other models'Quote:

I was looking for all sorts of connectors and plugs that aren't too big and couldn't find any. Ordered myself those grommets, the 38mm hole I've now drilled is big enough to fit all the front plugs through so I can solder it up as one loom again.
Corsa B door loom connections ;)Quote:

Jacked up and on some wheels and tyres, couldn't get it all the way over as my parents weren't about to help me do so:
