I just used a coat hanger, taped the wiring and boost line to it and pushed it from the top of the dash down to the kick panel where I pulled it out.. Sorry don't have any pics though

I was able to just run mine down the bottom of the pillar pod, in between the original trim and the pillar pod trim.

Depending on what pillar pod you have, you may have to trim the bottom off.

The boost gauge hose is the largest, just run the other wires beside this.

Keep the wiring (ignition, dash lights and earth wires as thin as possible) and don't tape them together.

G'day mate. I did the coathanger thing. Works well.

With my boost gauge, I drilled a hole in the back of the pod like this..

This way, the gauge doesnt sit proud of the pod and it looks a bit neater.

The rest of the wiring fits with a bit of fiddling between the pod and the existing trim.

Cheers,

Steve

I did the exact dame as Steve above with the boost gauge and drilling the back of the pod out

I didn't drill the back of the pillar pod.

I went to ENZED and purchased a 45 degree fitting, with this fitted to the back of the boost gauge I was able to run the hose down between the two trims.

hi team
all sorted, if you take the pillar cover off there is a gap between the dash & pillar
wires drop down through next to kick pannel, glad i took it off & had a gander its too easy
put it all back to gether sweet, boost line is quite thick but only small diameter so was able to keep it in the pod
now just to hook it all up
been waiting nearly three weeks for my dawes valve
