Getting wiring away from right Header

[Turbogus]

Hi Gang, I was running on about the no start on my Jeep but this may call for another thread.
I have all of my ground wiring running right next to the dual battery tray along with control wiring for the dual Radiator cooling fans and other. I once suspended all this wiring with zip ties to the firewall to grille support rod but it really looked funky. Now that I have 'Black Betty' running again I'd like to retain this wiring in a more professional fashion. My latest idea is to bend up some wire coat hangers and secure it to either the inner fender well of that same support rod.
I'm asking if anyone has a better idea than I to accomplish this. Thank and a lift of the lynch lid for your responses.

Are you looking for some sort of structure to attach it to (hence the coat hanger)?

I don't know how well they'd hold, but you could try something like this

or this one accepts zip ties

Wire coat hanger isn't a bad idea if it's inside of a wire loom, and there are no sharp edges.

WOW! Thanks Terry, I have great faith in 3M adhesives and being rated to 185* if I can keep them high on the inner fender this may do the trick! Thank you kind Sir!

Yeah, it's cheap enough that if it doesn't stay stuck you're not out too much.

Here's what my wiring looks like right now;

and my latest idea is to use rubber insulated wiring clamps;

these would help keep the looms higher on the fender and be impervious to vibration, unless I can think of something better.

I stopped by the local hardware store today and I'll test fit and get some more large convoluted tubing to clean this up tomorrow.

 

[Turbogus]

No luck on more large tubing but I was able to reincorporate the wiring into that largest piece.

 

[superj]

Walmart carries that auto wiring tubing in black and red

 

[Turbogus]

Hey SuperJ they carry the 3"? I'd even settle for 2"

 

[superj]

I dont think so, i think it was smaller, like 1

 

[Turbogus]

ahh, okay 1" can be had locally.

I just rewired my cj7 after a few upgrades. This is what it looks like now.

Very nicely done, I initially hung some wiring from the Grill support as well, but with all those ground wires, it became too unwieldy.

That’s actually to hold up the a/c and heater hoses. Still working on that solution. All wiring is tucked up on the firewall or fenders, exiting only at their termination point.
