    Question more on this bloody gauge install, weres a good hole in the firewall?

    it says, weres a good hole in the firewall, one thats easy to get to from both sides and will work well for the gauge installation?


    also

    im thinking of putting the oil pressure gauge here

    is there anything behind this bit or can i just drill into it?more on this bloody gauge install, weres a good hole in the firewall?-dash-gauge-2.jpg

    if your car is auto there should be a gromet in the firewall where the clutch cable goes, its a bit to the passenger side on the fire from your brake booster

    drill your own holes and get a fitted gromet, i had to do that for the airbags on mine and these are a bastard to get through the firewall with anything...
