Whats an easy path from the dash to the engine bay? I need to route a harness from the dash (Apexi) to the ECU. Any orifices behind the seats?

I would have thought following the gearshift down would be an idea. I'm pretty sure the arial also goes down the middle there, so there must be some way right through. It all seemed easy enough to get off too.

There's a rubber grommet at the bottom of the bulkhead, I think it's going to be difficult to get to, I can see it with the clam off. I think this is the best pic I've got, I'm not with the car so can't get any more pics. Might be difficult! The airbox has been removed on mine, so it's going to be harder than it looks. It may be accessible from underneath by removing the undertray looking through my pics, but I'm not really sure. I'm not going to be round my car for a week or two so can't get any more pics.

I still maintain that the best route from the back to the front is via the sills, alongside the water-pipes. The access to the back-end of the sill is a gaping chasm behind the wheel arches. The next time I'm under the bonnet I'll see how to get into that end, but it won't be hard IMHO... Steve

Hi, You just need to remove the inner wheel-arch lining. All is then revealed. Steve
