    Default where the f*** is that gromet

    Vt calais. really frustrated, have spent last few hours tryna find a way to get a thick amp wire through anywhere in teh engine bay, have the rest of hte cable already done up and going up the drivers side waiting to meet with this one.

    Apparantly theres meant to be two grommets, one on the left of hte engine to the right or under the brake booster, theres a gromet with cables going through it but nowhere that can be used in it to the right with a bolt going through it and sold steel under it and dont think thats the one people are mentioning. and cant find a gromet to the passengers side either.

    If anyone knows where it is would really be appreciated, photo even better. Its on lpg if that makes a dif... i've looked at hundreds of posts on this and cant find it in anywhere detailed and am not going to rip apart hte interior to get to it.

    there is a gromet on the passenger side and it's very easy to do. it's real far up in the corner on the wall. make sure you feel around for rubber though coz i didn't know it was until i touched it

    Thats where i ran mine .Just cut an X in the rubber then used some dishwashing liquid on the cable so it was easy to pull through.

    anyone got any pix of these at all? i cant for hte life of me get anything on the passengers?... the one on the right of hte booster feels like it has hard steel behind it so i dont think cutting into that will get anywhere.

    Thanks to the lpg and what appears to be an ABS upgrade top left area pointed oiut on second post is blocked by an array of fuses that cant be moved,top right is blocked off by the lpg install.

    the grommet on the right of the brake booster is a flat diamond shape rubber easily removed from the firewall , I always use this grommet to run the LPG wiring loom thru .

    can i safely drill a hole in the rubber gromet and the steel? there are several tubes going into it, but solid steel behind it with no space i can put the cable through.

    got it through, thanks for help.

    ended up having to rip use blind luck, felt around under the dash for anything rubbery, found something poked it got a gap, fed cvable thru looked for it on otherside.

    rubber grommit ended up being behind the brake booster where it is literally impossible to get to had to feed a good distance of cable through to get through to it.
