Safe to run wires here?

[marktgorman]

I am running to pod lights and started to tuck my wires in a nice little slot (my blurry finger is pointing to it) but wanted to double check that I shouldn't be worried about anything such as heat, etc.

Basically I tucked the wires up under that white piece of metal and that plastic tube, I am not sure what runs through there. If this is safe to do, I will tuck the rest of the wires behind that mounts on the left of the photos.

Thanks !! Mark

I did. I used zip ties with the eyelets on the end. Put them on the bolt heads.

Nice, I will look for those at Lowes. I was just going to undo the bolts which seems like a PIA.

These work well for that.

It’s probably fine as long as the wires you’re running are sufficiently protected from abrasion.

I actually ran wiring in the chase itself for a more factory appearance. See post 3 for a brief how-to.

That is a good article, thanks for sharing. So you can open up that chase and run though there? that would be ideal if doable? Is is a ton or work?

Also, glad to know it is a called a chase and cowl sheet metal. I'm already smarter

It’s not a ton of work. Just a bit of a PITA to get the clips opened up. Small screwdriver, some patience and 20-30 minutes of time is all it took.
