I cannot seem to find the large grommet in passenger footwell that people use to pass the amp power cable through.Is this even there on a phase 1? The reason I am asking is because people have said it is where the air con drain pipe runs through, but the phase 1 has no air con. I assumed that there would still be a plastic cap or something there in the same place. Unless I am blind I cannot find it  |

No if the car didn't have aircon from the factory the hole would of never been cut, just drill a hole through the bulk head in the same area, just make sure there aren't any brake pipes etc the other side first. Don't forget to use a grommet in the hole to help protect the cable and just seal it up with silicone________________________________________ When I've got time I forget what I wanted to do, and when I remember what I wanted to do, I have no time! |

Cheers Dan,Before putting in a grommet, do you have any recommendations for treating the bare metal where the hole has been drilled? I don’t want rust start over time. Some hammerite perhaps? |

Yeah thats what I used to cover the exposed metal (I forgot to mention that bit) Saying that though I put enough silicone on both sides of the hole to completely cover it so couldn't tell you if it's rusted or not  ________________________________________ When I've got time I forget what I wanted to do, and when I remember what I wanted to do, I have no time! |

Touch-up paint/primer or something like POR-15 or Hammerite. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice. I have just finished doing this and all went well  .The drill went through pretty much as soon as a pulled the trigger, no wonder French cars have a reputation of having thin body work. I suppose we could argue that it saves weight.  |
