Does anyone have any pics of the process of running the leads through the chassis rails or even just where they enter and exit?

Hi Hollywood
This relates to a V6 120 series but take from this what you can adapt for yourself.
My ARB aux battery tray is mounted in the rear left of the engine bay, so this became the power distribution HQ.
I mounted circuit breakers to the top of the fuse box, so close to the battery and easy access.
Cable entered the chassis via a large slot on the engine side of the box section at about the middle of the wheel arch area.
I used some ribbed conduit at the point where the cable entered for extra protection.
With the help of a length of fine (4-6mm) stainless wire rope. You can push this stuff through places by twisting it against the lay of the rope, but is very flexible when going around corners or obstacles.
You may need to do section by section. The most challenging was from the tow bar to around and into the chassis side rail.
Exit point is virtually center of the rear cross rail.
I Will search for pictures, stand by.
Cheers
Troy
