the driver’s side of the transmission tunnel to the floor/tunnel wall bend and along the edge to the
front of the driver’s foot box. Zip tie as you go.
23. Run the cable under the floor to the outside of the car and up to the ¾” tube next to the master
cylinder. Wrap the end of the cable with electrical tape to prevent any short-circuiting.
24. Use some of the white press-on plastic grommeting (included in the kit) on the edge of the aluminum
