Here is the over view of how the wiring runs to the back of the car.
The wiring then rivets to the BACK of the bracket that holds the front of the right foot box.
Here are the connectors for the starter. They come out of the harness right at the right foot box bracket.
The harness then passes through the main cowl support bracket. We laser a hole in this bracket just so you can run the wiring, and battery cables through the hole. Original AC Cobras did NOT have this hole in them and the wiring, fuel lines, and battery cables ran UNDER the sharp edge of the bracket--not good if you have an unexpected 4 x 4 off road experience in your ride. In our cars, we run the fuel lines on the other side...we will get to them later.
Frankly, it is VERY BAD PRACTICE to have ANYTHING hanging under your frame rails--including the bell housing (we will get to that later). Trailer edges, rocks, jacks, jack stands, dips in the road (Al Queda and otherwise), and all sorts of other things have a very strong appetite for gouging and eating such things. The standard rule is, the more expensive the part (think a hole in your
oil pan) the more likely a rock will miraculously evade the cheap parts and and eat the
oil pan first!
Next you go over the side pipe bracket.
Then through the square tubes that hold the back of the rocker sil onto the main chassis. Then finally, run the wiring up into the FRONT hole in the trunk panel. Don't forget the grommet! The yellow wire you see hanging down and across the frame rail goes to the fuel pump (more on that in a bit). Everything is loose and not riveted in right now on purpose. We run the battery cables down the same path, so we will tie them all up together at a later time.
These wires go to the brake light switch. It doesn't matter which terminal you plug them into on the sender.
