Having just completed extensive wiring on my car I thought I would pass on this tip which has made the job much more comfortable and life more bearable.
I am particularly referring to working behind the dashboard whilst lying on your back which can most uncomfortable to say the least. This is rendered much worse when the subject happens to be over 6’ tall over 70 and suffers with neck and back pain.
One day, whilst enduring this horrific state of affairs lying in pain looking up at the dash in pure misery I had a rare eureka moment and realised the grandson’s sponge football was lying a few yards away at the back of the garage. The result, heaven!!
With the ball comfortably placed under my neck I now actually find I no longer dread the thought of carrying out work behind the dash.
Unfortunately for Harry he has lost his football which has found a new home in my now unusually large toolbox.
I have no connection with the sales of sponge footballs !
Chris, I have just finished fitting a loom into the PA I am building and I used long studs through copper pipe 6" long to stand the dash away from the scuttle. Tapping into the woodwork 6mm threaded. This way the dash can be fitted correctly, also if needed be pulled away again for any other wiring adjustments. good luck, Nick.
