Question for the community, for people who have run power windows or locks that required wiring to the doors, what did y'all use to protect the wires at the hinges? I have picked up some suicide door looms from speedway, but the geometry of the door hinge makes the braided steel drag really badly on the grommet. These (https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Door-Wiring-Loom-Conduit-Kit,5349.html)are what I have, maybe they aren't really meant for suicide door applications, but searching around doesn't seem to show much else.
Appreciate the help,
Darth

Check with Painless for Jam-Tac contacts.

I use the 7 pin contacts from Carolina Customs. That will operate power windows, power safety pins, power door latches and a dome light.

My doors fit so tight that I had to recess the jamb side into the jamb. That was a real pain. On the good side they also act as door poppers.

I looked into the pin contacts looms from Carolina Customs, but after doing some research, many people had a really tough time getting them to work reliably. Plus, the spacing in the door jambs on a FFR 33 just don't lend themselves to contact-type looms. So I just bought a pair of eight-dollar rubber s-shaped accordion boots from Summit. Simple, cheap, they work perfectly - and you don't have to worry about making that iffy connection with the pin-contact type.

I too looked for these but never saw them at Summit. Thanks for the tip. These look just like the ones on my dodge ram truck. Placed the order today.
