Thread: Firewall alternative for running cable.

Is there any other free gromits someone has found? I've poked around but can't find anything.

I've asked a few times on the forum and never got a positive response. Seems crazy that there's not something behind the glove box.
Are you able to rationalise your wiring at all?

Hmm not really.

Next up is a switch for driving lights, can't join that into anything, antenna coaxial cable, traxide wiring, trailer brakes all adds up quick...

Luckily i ran the cb cable through the boot because that wouldn't fit.

Perhaps one of the remote switches mentioned in this thread: Driving Light Switch

I think there is something behind glovebox but it's difficult to reach, requiring battery and fusebox removal or something to that effect and perhaps needing to get behind glovebox fusebox too. I did read of it ages ago. I reckon the remote fob switch would be my go to.

Drill another hole?

Pretty sure you can't go just drilling holes through the firewall lol.

I'm sorry, but why? A 10mm hole is not exactly going to affect the structural integrity? A hole directly next to the existing hole, which has been rust treated and uses a grommet isn't going to harm anything.
