10 gauge wire through firewall - connector?
 
I am running an additional 10 ga. power wire from the rad support junction to under the dash to power a couple of relays. I have a few available holes in firewall and grommets to fit. I just hate putting a continuous wire through the firewall. Can anyone suggest a bulkhead connector for a single 10 ga wire? Double is ok too, I am reluctant to just hard wire as I know it will all come apart "soon" when paint work begins. Thanks for any suggestions. I've used the extra plug pins already.

Use Packard 56 terminals and add them to an empty slot in your bulkhead connector.

I've already used the empty slot in the main bulkhead connector and the empty one in the engine harness plug. I'm hoping to find a small round connector to take advantage of one of the other existing holes in the firewall - ~5/8"

If you have a 5/8 hole you might be able to use a grommet like the fuel sender wire but that would not be able to be disconnected or removed easily. If you needed a way to disconnect you could then use packard 56 male and female connectors and plastic single wire Packard 56 sockets?
