Electrical Need some help with my wire tuck

[AnthonyA1234]

Started the wire tuck process. I’ll attach some pics of where I’m at currently. I got everything connected my only problem now is the solenoid. I have zero slack on the thick wire that comes from the engine bay under the engine. Because of this, really my only option is to make some new holes with the self tapping screws and mount it about where I’m holding it up in the picture. However if I do this I don’t think the fender liner will go back. The wire I need to be longer has slack, I just can’t slide it because of the metal clamps it has under the engine. I’m pointing at it in one of the pics below. Is there a way to ease up these clamps so I can get more slack? Any other suggestions on what I should do? Appreciate any help.

When I swapped to a larger cable I think I preyed the eyelets open then squeezed it back around the new cable so you may be able to pry open the loop and slid the cable to achieve some slack but if you are going that far I'd replace it with the next size bigger cable.

What’s the name of that cable or what it’s for so I can look into getting a replacement longer one?

You are talking about the cable to the starter.

Nice ok I’ll see if tomorrow I can get some more slack by prying open on the brackets. I’m thinking I’m most likely going to have to delete the wiper fluid. But I’m going to try to make it work with it still there.

One other question, I have to extend a couple plugs. The master cylinder plug and the coil plug. That’s 14 gage wire correct?

So I’ve read and seen a few videos of guys taking the starter cable off of the brackets, and rerouting it to the fender well from the bottom, along the steering rack I believe or in that area. Has anyone done this and can lmk where I want to route it and how to secure it?

Made some more progress tonight. This is where I’m at now… I removed the starter cable from the brackets and slide it under the oil pan, along the steering rack, and into the fender well. I have plenty of slack now. It all looks good, the only problem is that the wire touches the oil pan at the very bottom. Tomorrow I’m going to try going alongside the backside of the steering rack, so that the wire doesn’t have to cross over the k member and rub on the oil pan hump. Besides that, do you notice and issues that may cause it to not work?

couldn't say from pics, nothing jumps out at me.
