    No. That is for a coil wire. Run the battery cable along the subframes and use cable mounts available from any Lowe's or Home Depot electrical department.

    I had my wires running under the car, but since I have the seats and carpet out, I figured I would pull them inside and run them along the frame and through the kickpanel and out the firewall.

    If at all possible, I would like to keep from having to just cut a big hole in the firewall and use a grommet, just another hole for hot air to come into the car.

    Roland, can you get me one? I cannot find any locally, and I can't see doubling the price by getting it through JEGS and their "handling" fee.

    You could use a bulkhead like that...
    However, I just drilled a hole, installed a heavy rubber grommet and ran my cable through it.

    Like wages said,and if there's a gap around the cable as it goes through the grommet just squeeze a little black silicone around it to seal it up.
