I Got your Number!

This weekend I tackled the number plate and the illumination thereof. I bought these really neat little LED lamps and painted them red. Then lined up everything and drilled the holes, set the rivnuts and....



Then it was time to get adventurous with a small file and sort out the Lambda sensor which could not be installed without cutting away some of the exhaust guard. Very stressful handiwork!

My next problem lies in routing the sensor cable - I dont want to route it along the body to the exhaust header port, that will need putting small holes in the body for P clips. The other alternative is routing it along the exhaust pipe - neat but liable to melt the cable! Or straight up the body to the scuttle - ugly!!!

I am thinking of cutting a neat hole in the body with a chassis punch and putting in a weatherproof grommet, leaving the outside run to 3-4 inches at most. I found that DEI make a neat flexible heat shield tube for just such eventualities and I may just give them a call.
