I cut a hole big enough to slide the pcm connectors through.
But there is no grommet big enough (that I can find) to seal it up. Did you make some kind of 2-piece cover plate to go over the hole? Fill it with putty? Some other solution? (it took a pretty good size hole to get a pcm connector (and the wire bundle on top of the connector) to go through) Maybe everybody else just pushed all the small stuff through from the inside of the car, instead of pushing the big stuff through from the engine bay side...? |

No nice cage in the works just yet...
It's a carry-over project from back in the winter when I was waiting on money for the engine replacement. Moving (or removing) whatever was forward of the firewall, and especially anything forward of the front wheels. (including fuseblocks, abs, battery, etc.) I didn't realize how big a job I still had left to finish the wiring though. I spent probably 2 days on it this past weekend, and still looking at 3-5 hours to finish it up, including mounting everything somewhere so it's not flopping around...
