    Where did people run radio cable through firewall

    I am about to install an UHF radio. I intend to mount the aerial on the bull bar.

    Where did people run the cable into the car? Did they drill a new hole or use an existing one? Did they use a cable gland? Something like this:

    On the drivers side of the firewall is where all the factory cables come through. I just fed my cable through that. From memory their are a couple of "nipples" that you could cut off and use to feed the cable through.

    Yes the main cable grommet is tthe place. As crash says there are spare entry points in the grommet, just dont cut too much off the "nipple"or the hole will be too large!

    I didn't bother to run through a grommet.
    I had the plug on the cable already when I bought it, so, I ran it through the near side mudguard and just let it slip in over the door rubber.It works fine.
