Default getting wires through the firewall.

im having trouble finding a place to feed 2-3 wires through the firewall. i want to avoid drilling a new hole so if anyone has found a grommet that i can use let me know (include picture if possible) i think the only one i can use right now is where my shifter cable goes through the floor. thanks for the help

the best place i found is under the cowl( where the wipers are) on the passenger side there and you can feed the wires through there with the radio antenna. to see where the anttena goes through you have to pull the cowl off then there is a big squareish/triangle rubber plug pull that too.

What are the wires for? I ran my PA wire through the fender well, out the door. And my cb antenna is in a hole in under the door molding through the floor sealed with silicone.

I use a plug on the passenger side under the dash, just below the carpet line. I've got an 89. The plug didn't have anything going into it, I have a 4 gauge power wire and 2 wires for my fog lights running through it now. It's about 1/4 inch hole.
