Best way through firewall

XTheOwl · 07-05-2003, 12:21 AM

I gutted a radar detector and I am gonna try to make it in dash. I need to run some cables from the engine compartment to the dashboard. Anyone know a good way to get through the firewall?
I know on my bud's jeep, there was a little rubber stopper you could pull out of the firewall, just in case you ever wanted to put on foglights or somthing. Theres nothing like this on the mustang is there?

Thanks,

xto

There is a rubber grommet in the fire wall on the driver side. It is pretty thick so you might want to get a coat hanger to help push the wires through. I just sliced the grommet from the outside to the center with a razor blade. It made it a lot easier after I had a bunch of wires and vacuum hoses going through there.
