Default Gauge install

I've re-read the Gauge/Vacuum install sticky a few times. But just wondering if anyone would post up some pics or let me know how you ran your lines through the firewall. Any tips or suggestions welcome.


Thanks.

I drilled a hole behind and above where the brake pedal is. There is also a gromit on the passenger side behind the PCM where you could pass wire through if you don't want to drill. Use grommit if you do drill. I decided not to run trough the passenger grommet because wasnt sure if I'd have enough length fom my sending units.

Thanks for the reply. I will see if I can go through the passenger side.

yeah, I also drilled a hole behind the peddle assembly and glued a short length of 1/4" hose in it to make a grommet.
