Re: Project: Over My Head

There were / are probably two dozen holes left over from the factory, largest at about 1 1/4". I am just tacking 22ga sheet steel over them en masse & will seal with heavy paint / sound deadener stuff, then go over it with carpet when I'm sure the pedals etc are all staying put.
If the baby gets to sleep properly, I might have another half hour of coherent thought and productivity left in me. More likely, I'll get back in there tomorrow.
I think a shear / brake combination unit is in my future. Bead roller would be nice, too.

EDIT: OH. You meant for the wires. I'm going to run a Daystire "universal" firewall boot with a 1" inner diameter, 1 1/4" hole in the panel. The LS harness will *just* make it though a 1" hole if wrapped snug in electrical tape. I'll probably have to slice the grommet with a razor and put it on the harness instead of pass connectors through it but se las vis.
