Simon,

As I am building my own harness (a la Dan Master's article in the British 
V8 Newsletter) I have plenty of wire.  But I have found a flaw.  I thought 
the wire would run up inside the A post - but it will not.  The post has no 
"through hole" at the top and I cannot drill it out.  Going on the outside 
is possible but not good.  Jim Stuart says he routed his on the floor next 
to the sill passenger side and that is what I will do - stick it down with 
duct tape or hot glue as Jim does.
