But where the passengers right foot would be, just up above the end of carpet is where it is. Oval shape. big enough to run heaps of cables through.

This way no holes in firewall. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24879-power-wire-thru-firewall/#findComment-373688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
