Hole through firewall for cable
Hi all. I am mounting an antenna on my driver side fender (where the hood gap is). I want to run the cable into the cab, probably through the firewall. The cable diameter is coaxial size but will likely have to consider the size of the BNC connector (0.575) it has already fixed on. Suggestions on an available route? Thanks for any help.

Open your hood and look under and just to the left of the brake booster. There is a black rubber plug about 1 or 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter. Pull it out and cut it so that you can reinstall it with the wire running through. Inside the cab the plug is in the driver side footwell deep above the gas pedal on the firewall. You may have to pull the carpet down just a bit to see it. This is the best place I have found to run wires through the firewall. Goodluck with the installation!

EDIT: Found it. That'll work perfectly. Easier than I thought it would be.
