Wiring question

[Fat Fanny]

I am wiring my 1951 Chevy 3/4 ton and need to know if anyone sells some kind of device that covers the wires coming out of the 1" hole in the firewall. I am keeping my firewall clean but all these wires are looking like a bunch of spaghetti. I will be using the split loom but I would like something up there that covers the wire coming out of the hole so that it doesn't look so obvious and dresses up the firewall.

I used the same on my cpe. Been there for 11 years

This is what I have in mind.  If it were larger by 2 it would be perfect.

That's a good idea.  I was making some measurements while ago and it looks like the size needs to be around 3.5" X 2.5"

I'm thinking I'll build one tomorrow. Use a 90 degree chuck of PCV system steel tube and a flange or just weld it in a hole on the lower firewall.

Need something on the '38 Ford Deluxe business coupe I'm working on for a friend.

I used the one that Doug and I posted. It's down low under the power brake booster and basically out of sight. I don't have any wires showing on the firewall nor on the innerfender panels. It sounds as though you want a clean firewall. So why clutter it up with a box? Put something down low and hidden. Charlie, what are you doing to Phils cpe?

[Fat Fanny]

I don't mind showing just the box with the wires not exposed.  I am trying to keep from having anything down too low to keep water, dirt and debris away.
I have closed all the other holes in the firewall so it looks pretty clean.

Looks nice so far. I'd hate to clutter that up as well. Post it up when you finish as well.

Why not just make something that looks like it should have been there?

[phat rat]

I don't think you need to worry about dirt and water getting in. Take another look at the pic Doug posted. That small rectangular open area is where the wire comes out and the only way for dirt or water to enter. Mines been in for 73,000 mi without problem. You have also have carpet or insulation over it inside
