HALP! Wiring question about X/Y PRT alpha gantry

[johnm]

Folks -

Okay, I am not quite sure what I am looking at in how to run the motor wiring loom in the gantry. I can run the X2 motor wiring through the hollow tube above the turnbuckle mount, but on the Y gantry the hole is a bit small - I can get the plug in, but certainly don't want to damage it, and the hole on the other side would be a fight. Does anybody have a photo that they could show me how this all is supposed to be laid out? Either post here or send me an email.

I'll figure something out, but think that this is a scalpel job, and I'm standing here with an axe. They'll both cut, but God is in the details.

Any takers? Thanks in advance!

I used some wire ties and self-adhesive wire tie mounts from the local Home Depot. The self-adhesive mounts stick to the aluminum frame where the cable is out of the way of the stepper's pinion gear.
