An ice pick next to that bundle. Pretty painless. (unless you are the grommet of course )

I still have room to "stretch. "

I used a different method. I ran a multi conductor cable with 22 gage wires thru the fire wall to my switch panel. It goes to project boxes under the hood that has relays to do the power switching. A small project box has power for the relays thru a fuse block. All neat and labeled so I don't have to remember which fuse and/or relay is for which circuit.

Joe, I like how that sounds. Do you have pictures or a diagram on how it works and looks?

Sorry, no pictures. I used the largest Radio Shack project box for the relays. I mounted it on the driver's side fender well just behind the PDC. The fuse block is in a smaller project box attached to the lid of the larger one. I used a cable housing from one box to the other as a flexable connection for wires so it's easy to work on. I used two pcboard pieces in the larger project box to mount the relays do the connector ends of the relays are up. Easier to deal with the wireing that way. I have one extra relay so that if one of the others fails or I need another circuit it's ready to be used. I got a spade lug fuse block from Kragens. Each project box has a diagram showing which fuse or relay does what in the project box lid. It looks pretty good since all the wires enter the big project box from the fire wall side thru a grommet.



I made a switch panel from some black ABS plastic with a crinkle finish. It's mounted where the stock cup spiller was. I have a Geno's Garage cup smoothy for cups and other junk. There is a ground, 12 volts B+, and 12 volts switched to the switch panel. Output is in the multi-conductor cable to the relay box. Note that I don't have to have switched power to the relay box because if the circuit is only available when the ignition is on the switch on the panel uses switched power. I have a few other things on the switch panel other than switches for the relays. There is an OD button and light, BIG idiot light for low oil pressure or fuel pressure, warning light that the tail gate is open (can't see it because of my bed cover), and a switch for my TCC lockup control.
