Can it all fit under the bonnet on the drivers side then? I'm not sure I've seen a Rush with it that way round. Mike Hmm.

I've spent ages re-arranging / shortening my Rover Hotwire ECU loom connections to fit in a kit car so I have all wires listed in a spreadsheet as well as what's what. (It worked afterwards too.)
