Default Need pictures of ABS cable route on car with 20" wheels

Friends, I need your help again.

I'm migrating from aluminium uprights/knuckles (they are nightmare) to steel uprights, that are used on cars with 20" wheels.

For this project I purchased new ABS sensors, which are specific to cars with 20" wheels and these ABS sensors have shorter cable than on "traditional" cars.

If you have a car which came with 20" wheels from factory would you be so kind to share some pictures of front wheel arch demonstrating the exact route of the ABS cable? Need to see how it travels from the upright into the arch wall and how it's connected to the car's electric loom.

Please search your cache of old photos!

Pity you didnt ask yesterday Sergei - I had the wheels off to sort out the brake pads. I'll see what I can do though if no-one can come up with the exact photos as I am about to go out and sort out the passenger airbag sensor (not related, I know but taking the wheel off will only take a mo').
