Looking in the sva manual is dose not say a lot much about wiring will this pass the sva?
The manual cannot confirm nor deny??

Looks like you have tie wraps to attach it to the chassis, alot of SVA stations want the tie wrap mounted on a mounting block which is riveted to the chassis instead of just the tie wrap. You may be fine as a couple of mine were just on the chassis but others have failed on it.

Aprat from that it looks fine to me.

Rich.

There are a couple of areas on mine where i have ran the wires in convoluted tube / conduit which is cable tied to the chassis and passed OK.

I recall the manual specifies wiring should be secure. Secured 300mm max. There should be no danger of chaffing etc. You also need to consider what could go wrong (ie could a cable tie fail and result in wiring contacting a chaffing point or source of heat). As a rule of thumb - if OEM's use a particular method (type approval etc) then you should be OK for a kit car. Cable tieing to chassis is effective but it doesnt look 100% professional imho. Its a quick way to secure them, the tester may look for other quick fixes as a result.

Ive used Hellermann cable ties in a lot of places on mine. They have a barbed fitting on the back of the head that locks into a pre-drilled hole. They have the advantage of spacing the wiring off the chassis to limit chaffing potential.

I go along with what the other guys say. I would definately put as much of the wiring in plastic conduit as possible,especially if you are using cable ties. Where ever possible I used 'P' clips rivited to the chassis to hold ther wiring conduit, only using cable ties where I couldn't manage a p clip. Impresses the SVA inspector as it looks professional.

Incidentally, what is the rubber hose in the picture used for? I would be tempted to use rubber faced 'P' clips to attach the brake reservoir and fuel hoses to the chassis. Where I had to use a cable tie on a hose, I put a rubber sleeve (larger tube split down the side for fitting) over the tube for added protection from the cable tie.

Thanks for the info
The rubber hose is the fuel line and I was not happy with the fact that the wiring was so close to it
I saw thinking of putting p clips and plastic conduit around the wiring but I’ve got a large list for stoneleigh already as it is
Thanks all for the help
