Well, due to blind optimism, tonight I tried to pass my fuseblock's 8 ga welding cable through the firewall down by the brake pedal, where the big bundle of wires goes through, I pushed and squished until the freakin grommet got shoved through. Here is the location:
and here is the hole close up
I can't get the grommet to go back on, my big fat arm can barely reach it in the engine compartment, and I'm putting a strain on a variety of hoses and wires in the region to do it.
What should I do? I could have someone take all the brake stuff out of the way, to access it cleanly and try to put it back in (with my new cable inserted) or I can tape the crap out of the bundle and silicone it into the plastic clip. Or maybe y'all have some other ideas.
How bad is it to have an open hole from the engine compartment to the cabin? I can't hear any noises from what I've found so far. I guess my biggest concern is vibration between the plastic clip and the bundle of wires.
Also, what is seen in the pictures is the assembled interior. Behind that carpet is a grey pad, which appears to have some chalk marks or such in the pictures, that pulls out of the way and exposes the clip, hole, and the grommet is soft like door seal, and can be touched through the hole.
