    Default Covering wheel speed sensors

    I would like to cover the wires from the wheel speed sensors running on the suspension arms. Other than zip ties (how they are currently held in place ) what are other legal options?
    I race communist race cars.

    I use spiral wrap for an additional layer of protection, but mine is also attached to the suspension arm with zip ties.

    Are you not allowed to bend a piece of metal over them? Like we use on pro mazda. Look at this picture of the leading edge of the rear upper control arm.




    Or the trailing edge of the front bar these control arms

    How are the brake lines routed?

    I rout my lines and wires along the trailing edge of the suspension arms and then cover them with a sheet metal that continues the shape of the suspension arm. The cover is held in place with tie wraps.
