etc. through on my bird Ron. Highly recommend you do that and keep the
wire bundles out of sight.

I've been planning to run the wiring that will go over the doors by wrapping
the bundles around the forward door post, enclosed in spiral wrap, or
something similar. See photo at http://n254mr.com/node/298. I've seen
several that are done that way. It looks a little industrial, but not bad.
However, at Arlington I noticed Walter has his wiring going straight up the
forward side of the post, and through a grommet hole in the roof, on top of
the upper carry through. That route is shown by the black, circled "X" drawn
on the roof in the photo. Thanks to Walter <g> now I'm waffling about which
way to do this.
The advantage of the wrap around method shown in the photo is it's easy and
has nice big turn radius. Disadvantages include that it looks little less
dressed down (even when in spiral wrap or similar) and would present a
problematic interface with any insulation or headliner. I don't plan to do
install those at the moment, but I could change my mind, I guess. Advantages
and disadvantages of the second "through roof" route are pretty much the
opposite. The relatively tight radius is probably my biggest concern with
going through the roof. On the left side I have two coax cables -- which are
the most sensitive to turn radius -- and the radius might be pretty tight
for those.
Is this just an aesthetic/headliner/turn radius issue, or are there other
things I haven't thought of yet? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
