Good spot to run wires to the nose?

[Team Jeff]

I need to run a couple GPS antennas from the cockpit up to the front of the GT. The trouble is things look pretty sealed up with no obvious (or acceptable) paths for the cables. Can anyone direct me to a good location? Needs to be big enough for the GPS antenna connector X2 to fit.

Take out the kick panel on the front passenger side floor/front bulkhead. Seperating the passenger compartment and front hood area are some rubber grommets that have some flex to run cable through.

I fed some small diameter wire through one of the existing grommets of the copper pipe that passes through the fire wall above the SJB box. ( passenger side , end of the foot well ) I pushed a rigid wire with a loop on it through first than I tied the small diameter wire to the rigid wire and pulled it through. I little lube is recommended..

californiacuda, I looked at those grommets and would consider them for multi-strand wire but I'm afraid it may kink the coax and ruin the cable.

I did this EXACT procedure for the power wires in the camera/data system. I used brazing wire & WD-40! :biggrin

I think this method would destroy the antenna wires, not to mention the connectors would be a huge PITA or impossible to pass through the grommet.
