Drillign the firewall!
 

So i have couple cables that needs to run though the firewall.

1. I know of that hole on the passenger side of the car behind the strut. and its being used with 0 gauge battery wire running throuhg.

2. I also know of the driver side fender option. I just do not feel like extending all my cables.

so.
i need to drill a hole in the firewall for my gauges.
i was just wondering whats the best place to drill a hole safely and without flooding the car.

any pics/ comments/ suggestions would help
thanks

I recommend extending cables
I am almost certain that both the driver and passenger side have the option under the fender.
I am almost certain that there are two holes behind the passenger strut, one on the back, one on the side wall.

remove the front fenders, check around a bit

if not places like summit have grommets to seal the fire wall, but will not seal as well as stock
probably the best place is behind the strut tower, but you would probably have to remove the dash to drill the hole

the higher the better lol

gauges are not worth hacking up your car. run them through existing holes instead

I always would try to use the stock grommets when possible

hmmm i might have to extend the cables and run them through the firewall.......

There's a huge rubber gromet on the passager side that the main wiring harness runs through. I put a slice (very carefully with a razor blade) in that and ran an 1/8 inch line for my meth. Should be able to run 0 gauge wire the same way.

Ya I went through the hole near where the passanger rider's feet for my gauges. Pretty much behind the glove box.

Yup, you can fit pretty much anything wire or line related through there.

their is a grommet under the center console of the passenger side i used to run all mine

thanks for the comments guys.
i see the rubber grommet you guys are takling about. did you guys drill a hole through it or something? i probably would need an inch diameter hole

no just put a slit in in and it will form around it put a X in it and keep it small

There is another grommet behind the left shock tower...If you pull the glove box out and shine a flash light in on the right side you can see it...I ran my oil pressure gauge wiring through there...Not on my car but other people's cars I've run boost gauge wiring and vacuum line through there also...You can easily run other gauge wiring through there also...looks clean too...

rat chewed through my firewall and nested in my cabin air filter....I destroyed the rat, but have yet to seal my firewall and have 0 issues. He chewed at the top of it on passenger side

lol what
do you have pictures? it should be interesting to see lol
