4g wiring through firewall

Post by Drax » Thu Jun 16, 2016 3:25 pm

is there a best place to feed wire through the firewall? preferably as central as possible.
i know there is one behind the fusebox and behind the loom at each side, but id rather not stretch that far.

If you drill a hole, make sure that you're not drilling into something on the other side. Also, use a rubber grommet to finish the hole, so when you feed the wires through you don't chafe them on the metal edges of the hole.
