Cabling to the roof via the snorkel

God evening
Try to suck a piece of string through with the vacuum cleaner and go from there .

Hi Bonz

Mate of mine in a 79 series ute ran wiring for his roof spotlights through the snorkel and the wiring made a bit of noise whilst under way. Probably needs to be secured somehow to stop it flapping around.

Bonz,
drop a string down the snorkel and then fish it out with a bent piece of wire. then attach the cable and feed/pull it up.

Either sika flex up the entry/exit holes or drill and tap holes and insert poly glands and locktite them in.

The other way is to run it in corrugated auto conduit cable tied to the outside of the snorkel.

Hope you have success.

You had better hurry Bonz, you only have 2 weeks to do it.
cheers

Come on Bonz - just drill a hole in the roof - no one ever notices it !

Just make sure that you fuse your wiring [shouldn't have to tell you that]. Just had a mate drop his cruiser off at work after Kimberly trip, burnt out winch and wiring to inside remote switch, burnt out driving light wiring, burnt out diff locker and compressor wiring, and a few other things.All caused by a faulty winch remote switch. Are you going to mount a flat 7 pin plug on top of snorkel, if so make sure you bring the cable out below the snorkel head as rain water will run down the cable. As to the cable rattling in the snorkel stick big blobs of silastic on the cable about 300 mm apart before you pull it through. The string and ping pong ball is a great idea, some smart people around. See you in 2wks.

PS Use a plastic gland were you bring the cable out at the bottom
