Door Electrics

[Alan Whitaker]

Hi All.
What did TVR use to pass cables from the door to the body.

A hole!
Ingenious I know.

[Alan Whitaker]

would have never thought that?, I have the holes

[Griffinr]

Just need the wires then.
Crude but it's lasted 25 years on mine. Don't think there's room for any modern clever connector things.

[Alan Whitaker]

Any other dumb st answers Dick

Other than a couple of bits of foam with holes in, not much.





Can't get the door open any wider in the garage.

[Alan Whitaker]

Thanks for that, I did think there was some sort of bellows on the S to run cables through

hi i used 7 core caravan cable has a outer protected sleeve

Nothing as sophisticated on mine just bare wires!

I owe you a big thanks though because it looks like some of mine have warn through! Anyone know what the green wires are for? I'm guessing speakers but since I haven't got a radio fitted I wouldn't know. Everything else seems to work - central locking and window. Haven't got electric mirrors so can't think what else they could be for.

Thought/suggestions welcomed

Sorry meant to add a picture - doh!

Thanks for that guys, been looking at it today, the way the door opens is a bit odd due to the door hinge points, need a bit of time to work out what I will do

Alan, I think the way the doors open the wires tend to slide through the door hole rather than bend in the jam so some slack in the door is probably a good idea.

MisterTee, the green wires are the speakers on my car.

Great, thanks for that.
