shaker hood cable location question
« on: December 28, 2007 - 04:56:15 PM »
Where does the cable for the shaker hood doors go through the firewall?

There are two dimples in the fire wall just below the voltage regulator mounting hole.  You need to drill out the one that is closer to the passenger side.

Also, there is more information on the Hamtramck Registry.

One think though, I would scribe the hole on the firewall and use an undersized hole saw.  Then file out to the line.

That's awesome thanks. I was planning on using a step drill bit I have had really good luck with them in the past.

Next question is where under the dash does the cable get mounted.
