you could run it through the boot where the steering passes through the firewall or drill a hole and put a gromett there

There's lots of space where the wiring harness comes through the cab/firewall (just behind pedals) and it's an easy to access space from the cab and the engine bay. Get a rubber grommet and drill away.

Not if you can find a way to keep it away from the steering.
