cb help again....

just wondering for all of those who do have CB radios if you run the antenna wires through a grommet in the firewall, and if so which one? if not, then where?

thanks

I ran mine the same way. I ran the coax cable in through the cowling, down the fender, a little ways down the body rail, then over and in through the body plug under the brake pedal. I put a tiny slit in the plug, ran the cable, then put it back in place and sealed it up with black silicone.

Ran mine pretty much the same way but through the grommet under the glovebox and back through the frame rails.

I cut a small slit in the grommet around the steering column. With the clutch in the way that was my only option. Just make sure the wires are zip tied away from the steering shaft. Mine's been that way for 3 years with no problems.

I used a step bit to open up the grommet on the rear wall behind the back seat. Standard coax connector wouldn't fit through on its own

I ran mine through this plastic plug. Just popped the plug out to drill it and then snapped it back in...
