Electrolock cable through firewall grommet 1933-36 All & 1937-46 Trucks

If anyone out there has a 1933-46 Chevy with an electrolock cable passing through a 1 3/8” hole in the firewall at an angle this home made rubber grommet may be of interest. It is made from a 1 3/8” panel plug.

A hole was made at an angle to the firewall to match the angle of the cable.

A fixture was made to hold the rubber plug in slight compression to prevent any tearing of the rubber during making the angle hole that was done with a 3/8” hole saw and a 3/8” end mill, both running at a high speed.
