    Default HELP with VN firewall and wheel arch holes

    hey guys i recently done a full hidden wiring job and fusebox relocation to my VN.
    just wondering what the best way to go is about the two wiring harness holes in the firewall. i want to plug them but just dont know how (without going sheet metal) is there any other way around it I.E custom size grommets or something.
    and also i want to fix the two ugly holes the old fusebox bracket left in my engine bay. how do i go about this to prep it for a spray ?

    im guessing you don't want to weld up the holes either, if not then some rubber grommets are the go- you should be able to find them pretty easy
    as for the fuse box bracket some one on here with more experience will be able to tell you

    Grommets from Bunnings and Autobarn mate, the latter doesn't have as bigger range though.

    I've seen metal heatshield like people use around turbos etc at Autobarn. For dynamat, car audio shops will probably be the cheapest.

    fuse box went behind the dash. it sits in some brackets we made up behind the glove box. the glove box had to be trimmed a bit
