1930 A sheetmetal wiring penetrations

[30 A Ripper]

Previous owner changed to 12vdc and routed a bunch of wire through the sheetmetal corner of the lower firewall and under cowl side panel as seen from engine side.

Even from under the car, I can't see exactly where they come through but am a big believer in grommets for safety.

Les Andrews and various parts books were no help visualizing that corner.
Is there anyplace I can see that sheetmetal corner?

Thanks, Dick

ps-Found while starting turn signal mod.

I don't have any pictures or references, nor is mine 12v but that's the area where I routed my signal light wires thru. Pretty big open area. Pull your floorboards and you'll get a good "look see".

Could you possibly slide some split loom over it and feed it into the inaccessible area? There are also some inexpensive plastic tools that make it easy to open and slide the loom over already-installed wiring.

thanks guys for good advice. Still hoping someone has a photo or picture of that corner so to avoid pulling floorboard or leaving a hole for water intrusion later.

Too bad I have each year except 1930, but maybe they can help.
The first picture as I recall is a 1931 indented firewall.
The second picture is my 2-23-29 Tudor.
The third picture is my 9-27-28 Phaeton. Note the cover plate where the left hand brake used to be on earlier 28's.
