Rope Wiring Harness? Why?! | Motorsport Wiring Lesson 2 of 5 [WIRING]

The 2nd step of the HPA 10 step motorsport harness construction process is determining how the harness will physically route through the vehicle and the engine bay.

With the first step of the process completed, we have a design for how all of the components will be electrically connected but we need to determine how the harness will physically connect to the parts of the EFI system.

Before we can finalise this, it's ideal if all of our components are physically mounted so that their location is finalised and we can then decide on the best harness routing. Special considerations include some flex in the harness to account for engine movement, logical ECU placement in relation to our bulkhead connector/s and the use of nylon rope for a 'mock harness' to ensure that our visualisations match the physical realities and bend radii.

This is just 1 of 10 wiring steps and the first of 5 [FREE LESSONS] taken from the Professional Motorsport Wiring course. Now move on to lesson 3, where you will learn the MAJOR mistake those now to wiring almost always make...
