- Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tank, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
- Never run wires near fuel lines or power (if possible). Running the wires inside the hull or car area provides the best protection.
- Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially on the Roll Cage.
- Make sure that the mounting clamp is tight before leaving the Vehicle.
