When running wire through a metal hole, it is recommended to use an insulator between the metal and the wire jacket. If the insulator is not used over time it may chafe through and short. One type of insulator is a grommet.
It is not recommended to route your wiring near heat sources like exhaust pipes or turning hardware like fans or drive shafts.
It is best to harness any of your wiring with wire ties or tape to be sure they are secure and not easily caught on something.
