Wire routing

I don't know if this is an original usee for this tool, but I'd thought I'd share it anyway! I hate using a coat hanger to pull wires through the firewall so tonight I used my flexible pick up tool, with the spring steel claws. I just punched a little hole in the grommet, expand the spring jaws. Let them collapse and pull the wire right through. I think this a better tool because it doesn't collapse like a coat hanger, its more rigid!http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/779095Flexibletool.jpg

Uh, what are we wiring? :D

Radio Shack In/Out thermometer! Just had to pull the probe through the firewall.

I was just going to post that I figured it out after looking more closely to the end of the wire. BTW, I'm at work and just leaving. TTYL!

I've used a wire feeder but that seems like a better idea. Thanks for the info.

I have been using the fish wire:)

Rick,
do you use that thing for other things besides pulling wires?.

In/Out thermometer !!!. I did not know you are now living in your truck.

:flipa:

dammit...had to post this twice. here goes:

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but isn't the outside temperature sensor mounted in the engine "bay?" Wouldn't engine heat affect the readings? I heard somewhere (don't ask where) that most car thermo sensors are mounted near the ground to avoid heat sources.

No the sensor is out under the ARB away fron engine heat. The sensor has 10' feet of cord so you can put it wherever.

Gotcha...very cool. I knew I was missing something.
