must be a hole where the speedo and accelerator cable comes out mate, just a matter o following them to the bulk head and popping the wire through, whats it for, cant you just add a wire to the ignition mate get a pos from there?

its for a ridiculous horn i HAVE to get fitted.. theres no getting out of it either, dont ask

basically its a control box that has the 12v running into it, which needs to be located in the glove box, then 2 wires running to the horn which ideally needs to be under the bonnet, so i still need to find a way to run wire through.

I was thinking about drilling a hole and using a sliced grommet

Any comments or suggestions much appreciated

pull back the carpet and firewall in passenger footwell and there is one there, but best place is thru the bulkhead on drivers side, right in corner near bonnet hinge there is a big rubber grommet where wires already go thru, just poke a hole thru that and poke wire thru, shud appear in drivers side footwell when u have pushed enough wire thru.
