Wheel wells removed - suggestions on securing wiring
 

My front tires where rubbing my wheel wells so I pulled them. Now Im looking for something a little better than zip ties to secure the wiring harness that goes from the firewall to the headlights etc. on the drivers side.

Any suggestions :mm:

Interested in ideas as well. I'm in the same boat. Zip ties aren't really working for me. Truck sits outside and ties break easily when frozen.

This is what I would use. Available at most auto parts stores. Attach to existing holes in fender.

Here is a link I found with some wiring loom clips.

I know it's your truck but I would be more concerned with what the tires are going to be throwing up into the hood and bouncing all over the motor and everything else!
Just saying.;):chevy:

completely removing wheel wells not a solution to problem with tire rubbing. modify wheel well, or buy custom aftermarket ones. even partial wheel well will help keep debris, water, etc out of engine bay. plus, helps support the fender/hood.

I have an off topic truck (but its way cool lol) and I drove it a bit without the wheel wells, and never in the rain. Man did it make a dirty mess in the engine compartment. So like has been said, do what you can to get the wheel wells back in there.

In the mean time those clamps with the rubber on them someone posted up are pretty inexpensive and work great. You can also get some of that wiring cover ... its plastic with a slit in it so you can tuck your wiring in there. Sorry dont know what its called, but it works real slick.

Oh I wont be leaving the wheel wells out. My front end just decided to settle into place about 30 miles from my home and this was the quickest way to get back on the road and get her home.

I will be making or buying some wheel wells next year that will clear. Just needed some ideas to get me by for now. The clamps look like the way to go until I can replace the wheel wells.

We use these all the time at work and they do the job. The wiring bundle stand offs that get wiring off decks, away from frames to prevent rubbing are really nice.

If you go this route, ensure you follow surface prep requirements or else they will pop.

Ah... click bonds. Used those for almost 13 years when I worked in aircraft.
