Is there a firewall hole on the passenger side of a D4 (similar to the one on the driver's side)?

I have the Traxide cable running down the driver's side, but I need to run a separate cable to power a dual ARB compressor (2x45Amp) and was planning on running the cable down the passenger side.

Ideas appreciated.

I think there is another on the pass side but when i did my install found it quite hard to get a cable down to the carpet area if i recall correctly, there seems to be a lot more stuff packed on the p/side then d/side. i also ran the traxide cables for my single arb compressor in rear via driver side plus the elec ran the additional wiring for the redarc brake controller, there is heaps of room to run more wires on d/side as there seems to be a deep valley beneath. the only problem is feeding more wires through the smallish hole on d/side. good luck.

Agree with the above. I wanted to run a large cable through there from my 2nd battery and found it already fairly full of cables. I ended up running round engine bay, through firewall on drivers side then back across to passenger side. Not the best or shortest route but easier and less risk damaging the existing cables.

.... easier and less risk damaging the existing cables.
plus no need to remove battery and/or fuse box which is required to access the passenger side one.
