Yeah that was in george...with slight modification to that particular bracket you couldve removed sparkies and checked oil with the need to unbolt it. Makes for great noise output as well as they are right next to the bonnet opening ;D

These normally a few holes the are blanked off which you can use to poke the wires though with a grommet to protect them from chafing on the body work and causing short circuits of worse fire.

Or the way I’ve done a few of mine is to poke the wire through a grommet that’s already being used.

Mine are under the boot, to the left of my exhaust... Can you see them? No - you can't! ;D Unless you lay on the floor of course!
