74Adam Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 This is in regards to a megasquirt setup but I figure the subject matter is general enough to place here. I am using the stock hole in the firewall behind the clutch pedal to run the wires through. I was just wondering how people are sealing this? I've looked at Mcmaster and they have a variety of grommets and I could probably cobble something together but I was hoping there might be some kind of "combination" grommet that incorporates some shrink wrap type material. I'm just trying to get some ideas and would appreciate a little feedback. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Use a split grommet from seals-it. Edited June 9, 2014 by socorob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideways Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I just split a brake line down the side with a razor blade and lined the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ive done that before too but it doesnt work if the hole is much bigger than the harness. A lot of air will come thru the gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I just split a brake line down the side with a razor blade and lined the hole Clear aquarium hose is really classy... Gaps are readily sealed with steel wool and silicone... Beats wrapping a whole roll of electrician's tape on there to make a plug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNNY Z Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Seals-it makes great grommets. I have a couple of them in my setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Adam Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 SUNNY, did you just use some self-tapping sheet metal screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
