As to cutting the loom, well unless you take out the seat and a lot more panels this is the only way to get a quad lock through some of those gaps. The majority of quick fit people will prefer to do this than spend the time making room for it. As a non shielded cable with correct, and I stress correct, connections it will make no difference to the service quality.

As an OCD guy myself I know what you mean and guess you are the same, it’s got to be 100% right. For the rest of the world it still works.

Well put.

But I just could not look back and see the 12 red butt splices in a huge bundle and be proud of my installation. I would have done whatever it took to not butcher my loom.
