Default got the wire through

Thanks for the tutorial and the clarification.

I finally found a place I could squeeze the wire through the firewall in an existing grommet behind the pedals. I think a braided cloth fluid line passes through this grommet... possibly clutch or brake fluid line? I just squeezed in the 8 ga. wire next to it but made sure it wouldn't crowd out the fluid hose.

Where this pokes through into the engine compartment is about 8 inches below the top of the fuse box (a guesstimate, I didn't measure it) and to the left a bit (towards the pass side slightly).

I was going to snap a pic, but it is one of those things that'd be impossible to see, as I sort of had to squeeze in my head sideways to see what I was doing.
