I need some help and advise from you experts. I finally got the large firewall grommet installed in our '35, not a fun job. Put the temp. sender wire through it first. We did not figure we could get the sender in after the main wiring harness is ran through it. Started the new wire harness in, but getting the "fat" portion through is where we are having great difficulity. It does not seem to want to go. What are the tricks you guys use to get this portion of the main harness through the grommet? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Then, still have to get the wiper vacuum hose through the grommet or should we put the hose in before the harness? Thanks and Happy v-8ing. Mike
