Pics of Floor Wiring Covers Installed
« on: February 05, 2014 - 10:29:23 PM »
I can not find any pics of the floor wiring covers installed in a cuda. Anybody have one. I am referring to the ones that run along floor/rocker area below drivers door under the carpet. When I opened mine up to redo the floor pan the rear one was facing up with the wiring running between it and the door sill area, then the front one was laying flat to floor with wiring between it and the floor. Does that make sense?

This is my Challenger, the wires went between the cover and the floor/rocker.  The cover folded over the wires and the carpet covered it. The covers broke off on mine so I welded some small hinges in place of the metal tabs.

So where both of yours are pointing up in the pic they laid down over wires on both pieces of the cover? Mine had the back one like yours is but the front one would have had the black side up so the wires had to transfer right at the drop in the floor board, did not look right to me.

Yes, the wires went underneath both of the covers.  Wiring should go in a straight shot from the front to the back with the cover over it.
