1952 3100. My gosh!! What in the world are all these holes in the firewall? I have bought and replaced any and all groumets that are avail. and yet there are just as many holes remaining!!!! The two large, mayby 3" diameter holes probably for a different heater really bother me. What do ya'll do to cover them all? Guess I will just have to start making round "hole covers" and sheet metal screw them in place. Any suggestions?

A picture of the firewall showing the holes in question will help us to help you.

Here's a sample of some firewall clean up work. For best results, you'l likely need to break out the welder..

I used a hole saw to cut a couple of circles just slightly bigger than the holes I wanted to cover out of some sheet metal. Stuck them on with weatherstrip adhesive. They are stuck on very well.
