Question Wire mod with out cutting, any pictures where to drill hole?

Cleaning up the engine bay and want to do the wire mod with out cutting any wires. I think I remember someone posting a picture where to drill the hole so you can fit the connector through. I cant seem to find the picture on here?

Thanks

Like ellesone said, its a rubber grommet, which you can find in numerous places, electrical stores, Home Depot, some auto parts store. I myself found mine at Autozone.

I used a hole saw.

I believe the size was 1 3/4" But I am not sure. Whatever was big enough to fit the plug connectors through. Just start off small, remember that you can always remove more if needed, but you can't put it back if you take too much.
