I dont clearly know but short of taping (or superglueing) a bit of string to a mouse's tail and pointing the mouse in the right direction, you could get a couple of very strong magnets. Drill a hole on one and tie a length of string to it. The use the magnets to drag the string through. Once you have some string to grasp at the right end then tie (or tape) the other end to the loom and drag it through. I dont know how a tradesman would do it though. |

Not sure about there but I know getting wires through underground conduits the easiest way was to get a tiny drinks umbrella from somewhere and tape string to it's handle , put it in the conduit and blow compressed air up the conduit . Catching the string at the other end of the door channel could be a problem though . |

When I use to do cable instalations years ago I had a set of "Snakes". These were a tightly wound springs, only a few millimetres diameter but several metres long, that you could feed through walls etc. Try pushing an old speedo cable inner, or speedo/throttle/choke/bonnet release outer through, then tape the cable to the end and pull it back. |

Get a centre out of a old speedo cable, strong & very flaxable, feed it up 1st, tape the harness to the end & slowly pull it up the a pillar, easiest way to do it. Doogie |
