Love the video and love the clear way on how to wire plugs! It makes it so simple! Quick suggestion would be rather than using a metal tape measure use a bit of string to get the curve and then measure that with the tape measure this will give a better more accurate size needed.

Good tip. Mechanic's wire works well too because it holds a shape.

Wonder if you could do this with a vtec swap mini to add a bit of old school to it
