And you use a 1 1/2" hole saw to make the cut, how do you figure what size grommet to use? You will need to know the inside diameter?

Also where can you get industrial strength velcro from?

When velcroing the wires, should i jsut wrap them in a bigger wire loom with electrical tape, or forget the loom and just use the electrical tape only? BTW the car is not a DD so obviosuly it will NOT see rain..

Thanks,

jsut trying to get all prepped befroe doing this in the next couple weeks

measure the outside of the holesaw............and lowes carrys both velcro and grommets.

For a grommet I used a small black hose that I split down the length of it.

I took some saran wrap and wrapped the harness (just in case of moisture)then electrical taped the length. As for as velcro, It was snug under the car already and once you put the inner wheel well back in place it holds what little slack may be there tight against the car.

What size grommets did you use? Also what size hole saw did you use also?

Ahh i see so the hose acted like a grommet and at the sime time a wire loom.. What size diameter hose did you use?

I think i will get the good electriacal tape and seal it shut..

I don't know for sure about the grommet, but Home Depot definitely sells the industrial velcro.

I think it was 1/4 inch just look at the hose and you will be able to tell what looks too big and what is too small just by eyeballing it. Thats what I did.

I could not find anyone with a gromet big enough to work. Mines been done well over a year with no problems. You cann't even tell it is a hose, looks like a gromet just turn it to where the seam is out of site, not that it shows much anyway.

i used whatever size the largest conector was. i dont remember as it was 2 yrs ago. but i think 1 1/2-1 3/4 is in the ball park. i got a grommet for a computer desk (u know the plastic kind u slide the wires thru) and molded it into the fender.

I just did this yesterday and you will need a 1"3/4 hole saw. Even using that size hole saw I was just barely able to get all my wires through, but it is possible.

Im just going to do this b4 winter. Where exactly do you guys drill the hole. I wouldnt want to get it to far towards the fender and have the wires be too tight.

I saw the grommets today that are used for a computer desk. All they had was 1" or 2" i picked up the 2" one... I could not find the 1 1/2" one..

Getav8 is that a odyssey battery. If so how did you mount it?

Getav8

You can kind of see in this pic where it was drilled.

I took a pc of aluminum flatbar and bent it.

The black line is a view of the flat bar from a side view. The red block represents the battery and the green bolt is where it is bolted through the flatbar into the stock battery tie down hole. The small jog out opposite end of where the green bolt is catches the stock platform where the stock battery use to catch. I then took a pc of felt type material that was self stick and mounted it across the underside of the flat bar so that the bar does not actually make hard metal contact with the plastic battery. Hope this helps.
