I used to build and lace up harnesses in high school and college for the job I had. Its pretty easy to do and looks a little less bulky that just putting a zip tie every couple inches. :thumbs:

Nick, is there an advantage to using the lace? It appears that it would be more difficult to replace an individual wire versus using zip ties. Looks real good in any case :thumbs:

Yes it will be more difficult to change a wire out but why would I need to do that, this is the dinal configuration of this motor.

Probably shouldn't have said change out a wire, more like add a wire. I was just thing that as much as you have added/changed on the notch, it might be necessary. But I'm guessing with this setup, its not as much trial and error since you are already using a fuel injected motor.

I did plan ahead and ran 3 wires for a oil pressure transducer ;) other then that I have everything I need on this motor.

Wire lacing is an art to get it right. Good job :beer:
