Hi all.
I am convinced the best way to get the cables to the roof is up thru the
snorkel BUT how do I thread the cable thru the
snorkel? I really don't want to pull it apart. Are there any suggestions? By my reckoning there are three 90 degree turns plus the
snorkel itself. I can use a magnet to thread a string thru the
snorkel but how to get a steel washer on end of a piece of string to there ?
Thanx in advance. I have some dbl insulated 6mm to run thru there.

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
