I used a bit of welding rod (with the flux removed), just sharpened the point and then pushed it through the side of the main wiring loom grommet in the firewall.

Does the VY auto have a clutch grommet, like some of the earlier models?

Probably but it comes out in a **** location close to the engine where there is a lot of heat and not ideal for electrical cables and also probably hard to access under the dash. It's not my preferred location.
