Looking at the car from the front, at the back of the motor on the left hand side there is a grommet. Ive got spotlight and cb wiring going through there. push some wire through it, usually comes into the cab above the drivers brake pedal.

Most of my wire come through above the accelerator, the grommet can be seen from the engine bay on the right side.

Firewall

Hi Guys
I drilled a 25mm hole through the firewall beside the spedo cable (ish) and then inserted a plastic pipe and secured with a bracket.
Grommets on each end and easy to install more.
I have quite a few going through HF, and 2 CBs, brake controller(remote), dual battery remote controller and a few more.
Still has plenty of room for more.
Fiddly to get at with the drill but well worth while

Mine had a blanking plate near the engine on the left hand side... I unbolted that, and cut a hole for a grommet in it.

I followed the main loom inside the drivers side guard and in through the piller beside the drivers foot.

all wires hidden and looks neat
