    Battery cable and tunnel bracket

    Why is this tunnel bracket made with the cut out shown on the wrong side for the battery cable. When I redid mine I had to triple check that I had the cable on the proper side.

    It almost looks like at some point the cable ran on the other side and a change was made without modifying the bracket.

    Now the cable runs on the sharp bracket edges,,, seems odd.

    I suspect that the tooling for this bracket is very expensive and couldn't be modified easily. This would also explain why no one reproduces this bracket.

      No one seems to worry about sharp sheared edges right up against the positive battery wire and no fuse for protection.

      I had to take my bracket off to fix up some minor rust and replate. So when I put it back, I thought I had it backwards. Made me triple check the AIM.

      Was the cable ever on the other side for earlier yrs?
