What are those things called used to thread wires through internal cavities? Got a bunch of wires to hide away and am struggling to feed them through the various spaces.
Can anyone recommend a set, with a URL that works well with these vans??

Dunno if it will work for you depends on where you are working

Re: Tools to thread wires through chassis?
Curtain wire is good for short distances, for long distances I have used a heavier drain cleaning one - both the spiral wound wire types. This sort of thing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Red-Plastic-H ... 589ff4a715 -mine is heavier and longer but is about 50 years old! Depends upon how many if any internal lightening/access holes there are across the section that you need to traverse - if there are several the rods may be better as you can lift it to get it through.
