It looks like you could break the ignition switch wires out from the main bundle even with, or a little lower than the switch; wouldn't be hanging out and would be somewhat tucked out of view. I can't tell from the photo if the wires might need to be lengthened to do that. There is heat resistant silicon tubing in a variety of styles, from solid to woven outer layers that might give a better look to the wires going to the engine. I wonder if that big all in one wire bundle could be separated into 2 or 3 smaller bundles that could be spread flatter, possibly one of them even routed on the right side of that frame tube. I know, that would be a lot of work and you'd have to remove all that tape again, certainly not an enjoyable idea. How would you like to install miles of wire in a large airliner?

First, I have been following this for since the beginning, HUGE Fan. Huge Fan. What kind of Oil Lines are you running? I see Black AN Lines but I dont remember you going over that before. I have been thinking of doing this forever as well. Let me know what you did. Thanks

I still have some work to do on it...trying to manage all of the various wire runs, plug connections, attachment points and battery and ECM placement in that small area is really difficult. Things are really tight in there. But I've basically got it all laid out and it seems to be working. I'll take some new pics later in the week when I get it all buttoned up.
I like the idea of the mesh wire wrap. Do you have a link for what you used?

I gotta say I am looking forward to it. The title of this thread is "Winter Makeover" and here it is almost summer. Never thought it would take this long...
