Firewall grommet
Looking for a picture if anyone has one, and a source or idea to seal a firewall hole.
looking under the dash a couple inches up and to the right of the gas pedal is a 1 1/2”x3” oval that’s open on my truck, it flanges inwards towards the cab. I assume it’s supposed to be sealed by a rubber grommet, but I’m not for sure.
also, any idea where I can find whatever it is that covers it? I’m pretty handy with metal, I could probably make a plate to cover it, but I’m trying to take the easy route. Thanks all!

I want to say that is where the wires came thru for the computer on the feed back system trucks.
I am sure it was posted before how to seal this hole, maybe do a search for it?

In reverse, if you are adding a lot of aftermarket wiring you can take the grommet from a truck with the computer, remove the wires from it and reuse without having to drill a hole or poke wires through the speedometer or hood release holes.

Here is a link with a photo of the firewall rubber grommet.

The hole in the firewall started when computers were installed in these trucks, maybe 1983, not really sure. This type of grommet (shown in the link above) was used in a non-computer truck that still used DS2 ignition system. It is a rare junk yard find. Black duck tape is easier to find
