am i missing a firewal grommet? (pic)

hey guys, i finally parted ways with my truck of 6 years in my sig this week.. a sad day, but it was time. i traded it in for an '04 CCLB 6.0L. anyways i've been going over it with a fine tooth comb finding all the little things that need attention, and i am wondering if i am missing a grommet or rubber boot or something on the firewall.. see the picture:



seems aweful large to not have something there, no?

That hole usually has a plastic cover over it. My old 00 F 350 had that drilled out to pass a wiring harness through it. Ill look at my old one today and see if I can get The part #

This is the best picture I could get of my 2001 v10 firewall. It has 3 pieces (engine side has thin mat like layer cutout) (middle has a plastic plug that seals to the firewall) (cab side has thick foam plug which is a sound deaden-er I'd assume.)

Inside of the engine compartment:


Inside the cab.

My truck doesn't have the plastic plug, just the insulation over it. Looks like someone got carried away with creating a pass-through.

Here's the plug in my '04. I use it to pass wires into the cab. When this pic was taken my CB antenna was the only thing passing through....

It is suppose to have the plug in it. It is where the clutch master cylinder and pedal are suppose to mount in manual transmission trucks.

Looks like you just need some more duct tape. Was the previous owner named Red Green?
