I was just wondering how everyone is running their AFR cable into the cabin. The only way I can see to do it is to drill a hole in the firewall and run the cable through the center tunnel.
Is there a better way? I'd rather not put more holes in my car if I don't need to. It is an Innovate AFR meter. Thanks. |

Are you installing it permanently, or temporarily?

I also have the Innovate and ran mine thru the speedo cable hole. Had to modify the grommet slightly to make room. I had to buy the longer cable as the one that came with the unit was about 18" short.

My snorkle is all busted up anyway, so I ran mine through it and into the tunnel. But I'm not happy with that. I was wondering what others have done myself.
So... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) |

Drill a hole and use a grommet. I'll post a pic tonight if no one else has by then.
EDIT: Here ya go. As you can see I've violated this one many times. There is a ton of room there. Remove the access cover on top of the tunnel by the firewall. Look down there with a lite and mirror if necessary. Just try to avoid the area that is doubled. If you drill 1/2 single layer and 1/2 double layer your grommet won't seal as well. As far as your AFR goesyou will need to split a grommet or use one grommet within another and blk silicone to seal. The connector on the cable is larger than the cable it comes off of.  |

Really easy. Ran the cable into the snorkel, up the tunnel and to the gauge. My innovate cable was just long enough. Helped to have a coat hanger wire and flashlight: a second set of hands would have also been good.

That's it before the black silicone to glue it in place. |

On the lower back firewall there are 2 areas where the double walls come together.
As I recall, it makes about a 1.2" diameter recess, one on the drivers side one on the passenger side. I drilled about a 1" hole in both of these. Because I cut out where Porsche spot welded the two walls together, I re-welded the ID of the hole. I was able to get the AFR and very large suby connectors through the firewall this way.
