Central locking.

[martin]

I've had a two master central locking kit sitting in the garage for five years, and think it's about time I fitted it. Has anybody found a professional looking way of getting the wiring across the A post gap ? Any pics would be good. Martin.

Martin, unwrap the existing wiring and re wrap the actuator wiring in with existing wiring with some new loom tape? Sorry haven't taken a photo

you should be able to get the wire for the central locking through the same wiring holes as the door wiring

How about this Martin ?

Like you, I've had a central locking kit on my shelf for ages but when I do get round to fitting it the wires will go in this trunking that I put in years ago to tidy up the standard wiring.

Looks neat and has worked perfectly

Trouble is Dave, there are a lot of wires with master actuators. M.

I'd thought of split tubing Julian, but I wasn't convinced it would stay closed, obviously it does, how have you dealt with the ends ? Martin.

there are five wires on the master and three on the slave,you should be able to drill out the two grommets to get the extra wires in,but julians idea is better

Hi Martin,

I used grommets that fitted snugly in the holes and around the tubing. Seems to have worked well

Martin, you can buy all the fittings, end's and elbows etc but what I use to do at work was just use heat shrink which works perfectly and looks very neat.

I just used the existing tubeing but then again I only used two wire slaves I never used a master as I had no need for both door's to lock when I used a key ( obviously not neccessary with the remote)

Thanks for the help folks, any more ? Martin.

Within two minutes of owning my stag and fiddling with wonkey keys I promised myself this mod. So helpfull and will preserve your paintwork too without all the jangling keys.
