    Not sure what they call this, but could not locate a picture in Real OEM Parts. In the drivers foot well, there is a large rummer dam where the wiring passes through the firewall. I need to take a power lead through this, but would like to see a picture of it. There seem to be some indentations in it that the wires can pass through and a couple do not seem to be used. Don't want to go poking holes in it until I'm sure. Anybody have a picture and/or have taken wires through this?

    Thanks Twister, but when I click on the link, nothing is there. Can you tell what the part is called?

    Oh, I thought you had found it. :blush2:

    I already searched in there and it does not seem to be shown for some reason, but thanks anyway. :Thumbsup:

    There is a firewall gasket on the passenger side also. Our power for our trailer comes right off the battery, and the line runs through it to the back end of the Clubman.

    I'll go see if I can find it and take a pic.

    Hey Jim....
    Eatin donuts with MOM...
    Power can go through the rubber gasket on the drivers side directly under the fuse box. You can probably pick an empty spot and add a fuse for protection and get your power there as well....:D

    Thanks MM and Lotsie. I thought, perhaps I had not worded the question properly or put it in the wrong section, thus I made the other post. I now have learned that there is a plastic cover over the grommet that must be removed first. Once I get this done I'll do up a DIY. :Thumbsup:
