55 to 59 door molex (wiring boots)
 
What is everyone using? I came up with nothing from the usual parts suppliers...

The boots to run wires from the post to inside the doors

Sorry Dave, I used the Painless Performance contacts for my door solenoid wiring.

you could run plastic corrugated tubing, I've seen that done and it's cheap.

I made these. For some reason they look a lot like the ones Ogre made. :D

i tried the flexible braided loom and didn't have much success with it
1st it is very small, if you only need small speaker wires in the door you may get it to work
2nd the hinge pivots on tf trucks moves the door in a sliding movement more than a swing motion

the enginerd in me drew this 1st pic up so i could design the door loom dan made
the tube is 3/4'' square aluminum, flat stock is 2''x1/4'', roll pin pivot; all bought from my local home depot
installed pics show full open and mostly closed positions

the 3/4'' sq tube allowed 6 wires: 2 #16 speaker, 2 #14 power window and 2 #14 power solenoid wires
the red plastic washers in dan's pic are slide bushings for the door

It's Bob! I did a temp install, and they're great. I would never steal your Ogre smile. I put it there in your honor, and for you to be sure to see that I stole your design. Great work!

I've recently put about 50-60 hours into panel fitting recently in hopes that I can paint in the spring. Nothing's gone into the build thread because it's like watching grass grow...
