Nah. Second time.   ;^)

Ran a secured piece of EMT in rear cubby below table on my '81 Westy
to protect a + wire I ran through there then up behind rear cabinet to
a 12V outlet in spice rack. In hindsight maybe running it along
surface of pillar and covered it with a race if I was going to those
lengths.

I get what you're saying. And, the + wire running from dash to kitchen
appliances runs under the carpet and it's been fine, though AFAIK, it
would see less of a load with only OEM Westy appliances using it.

Neil.
