i have always ran my power cords throuhg the gromet behind the brake booster, this may be for the clutch i dunno, but in an auto it's empty, and from there it's drop down near the pedals, and you can run it down the drivers side to the boot

I think i ran mine in the same hole as the bonnet release cable. Mines a manual so couldnt use the clutch hole.

Manual or Auto?

makes a difference

[slickster_91]

Sorry, its a on the column auto

[azkwazere]

Colum auto? ummm, ok, well as its not manual, you can use the clutch grommet to feed your wires through.

Its to the right of the break booster in the engine bay, comes out near top of break pedal. Its in between fuel hard lines and booster.

Rats. Wish I had seen this thread a couple of days ago. Just got through running a power cable. Gave up trying to get it through the firewall and ran it down the brake lines, tying it with wire ties. Missed seeing that grommet near the power booster completely.

Don't know if I shall shift it tho. It's in now. Maybe some time when I get enthusiastic.

Any pics for this thread?

Yep. Here's an oldie, from when I ran my amp's 8ga through the firewall. Grommet just behind the brake booster. The 8ga wire is hilighted in red.

I ran mine thru that hole also, but i have about 3differnt wires running thru that also, so i just popped the gromet out and just ran it thru the hole.

Thought your vechicle can get defected by doin that?

[r_i_d_a_h]

lol, like they're gonna check out the drilled hole

any tips on how to put the grommet back in place?

finding it difficult with such lil room to get my hands thru

[Heffer_Slayer]

I know the gromit for my VT was a pain in the ass!

Took me ages, its not even 100% properley on i think...

Just use force, thats what i did...that thing is a chop buster though.

For your own safety and vehicle longevity any hole with something passing through it, wiring included, needs a rubber grommet.

Yeah, it's a bitch because of the insulation/sound deadening behind it. I just pushed it back in using an old (blunt) flat blade screwdriver to work the edges back in.

passenger side on the firewall (back right side of engine bay) up high there is a big plug with wires going threw it (wire looms for computer) once you pop that out a bit feed amp wires threw to were the computer is (passenger floor behind last kickpannel on left) then to were ever you want
hope that helps
