Hi Westy I ran wires/cables out the back of pod, it then runs along the bottom of the windscreen. I didn't want to drill big holes in top of dash. I had a GQ years back with a prof built dashpod (Department of interiors from memory)and I remembered it had a flat thin bit of sort of like tin at the front which slid under the dashtop and between radio facia (Hope that makes sense. and the rear of it utilises the main dash bolts near the demister vent. I copied the front design but I remember what a cow of a job it was mucking around with factory dash bolts theyre very close to windscreen making it hard accessing so I used L brackets instead at the rear/side and screwed into metal part of dash so good and secure. tHe wires are only seen where it comes out of rear to windscreen so not far and from there reasonably well hidden. I had a dashpod like this one in pic in my old patrol and used its mounting design
