best route through the bulkhead on a manual?
so as the title says, anyone have any methods for getting cables through the bulkhead an a manual? most of the posts I've seen are on autos where the most mentioned grommet is not used but it appears to be on mine as part of the clutch/braking system? any ideas on getting a permanent feed through on the driver's side?and theeeeennn......???

There is a gromit with wiring coming through it already in the spare battery box. Bit awkward to get to but is possible as even I managed it

Sure the grommet will stretch to accommodate

snip the grommet and cut out the middle.“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

There is a gromet right at the bottom left corner of the battery tray ( standing looking in the bonnet )
There was nothing in mine and it will take about 15mm of cable .Slice the grommet with a sharpe blade in the shape of a star ..helps to get more cable through.
I got big fat twin cable for 80 amp dual battery system in there and a couple of small wires for future use
I found it easier to bring the cable through the inside as its near on impossible to get your hand down behind all the abs pipes .
Inside hole is about 20mm to the right of the accelerator pedal mounting (20mm from bottom right corner )G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

I filled the hole above with the wires to my split charge controller and a feed to the aux sockets I put in the centre console.
Does anyone know if there is another grommit free in the bulkhead? I want to run a high current feed to the luggage area, or out to a anderson in the tow socket area.
