Where to drill hole for brakesmart wire's

I've all ready used the clutch rod cover plate for all my guage stuff. Just wondering what all you guy's have done. A pic would be great.

Cant you get another hole in the clutch plate cover? 'Course, the brakesmart needs a fairly large hole, so you might be in a bind. I've never used anything but that cover....

I have a stick, so I used the rubber boot that blocks the hole for the auto shift linkage, but I do have one suggestion that might be helpful...

You can use a pick to remove the wires from the plastic plug, so you can slip the wires through a smaller hole. Just be careful/gentle with them, and of course be sure they go back in the same position.

You don't have to drill or add any new holes if you install the wire from the BrakeSmart pressure tranducer in the main wiring loom firewall entry point. The rubber wrap around the main harness on the firewall opens up like a lotus blossom when you unwrap the tape around it. I then had plenty of room to run the cable, re-wrap and then put a couple of zip ties around it to make sure it stays secure and closed. FYI - I also ran another even larger cable via that route to hook up my TransferFlow Trax II fuel transfer LCD readout.
