Where the heater hoses go through the bulkhead, what have you used to protect the hoses from being cut by the steel & where did you get it? Thanks

No I'm not using the original heater, I've got one from a mini. I do have a large hole about 2" & 4 smaller holes about 1/2" on the driver's side where the brake booster used to be

Used bulkhead fitting from t7 design, wanted to have an clean firewall,
mounted the fitting in the inner to outer cowl panel.
Hoses thru inner fender.

I used bulkhead fitting to run them into the fenderwell, then grommets thru the inner fender and a support bracket on the wheel side of the inner fender. Was the easiest to get around VA horseshoe hardlines under the dash and battery box.
