I purchased an ABS plastic (felt lined) firewall pad from Classic Parts and was looking at the logistics of installing it on a running truck. My plan is to remove interfering cables, capillary tubes and wiper hose and slot the top of the pad where the main wiring harness passes thru. My issue appears to be that the ABS panel is too rigid to pass over the steering column.

Has any of my fellow ‘bolters installed one of these pads, and if so, can you offer some advice?
