Looks a very neat job :thumbright:



But............. as far as I know (never had a set, meself, but) the ones you get from the likes of Year One have a clear plastic sheath along the length of the wire to stop it damaging the front of the hood/trim etc.
Over time, even the protected wire can leave a mark on the leading edge, so you may want to think about fitting some kind of insulation ;)

Good point, already thought of that as well

The cable is covered in plastic, just doesn't look like it in the photos.

Cheers

Work out some cost's Jon and do an initial run of 10/15 sets.

I'd be up for a set dependant on price! :thumbright:
