HI ALL
What are these two holes for originally in fire wall near wiper motor



BILLY

Bit hard to know what you're looking at.

There's a grommet for the heater hoses just below (and slightly off to the side) of the wiper motor.

clips to hold the loom up

I thought the wiring clips fitted to the plenum screws.
Is there a restorer in the house

Ooops - there is a picture. Just took a while to load & didn't see it.

The one on the left is for the choke cable. I'll get back to you on the other. Never noticed it before.

Mine left side has the choke cable and wires for the electric wiper motor running into it
The right one had a rubber grommet..All I can figure...

I recon the one on the right is for a heater tap cable.

Thats why its got a block off along with the heater blocked off .

Well there ya go, South Austrailans for ya...

Hey BB just weld them all up and drill new ones as you need them!!

I see some cars have the hole right above the wiper motor, some don't

Hey Tim, why do some some cars have this hole & some don't?

Isnt the one near the wiper motor for a vacumn wiper motor cable which runs thru to the knob?

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I'm pretty sure I've seen pics of EK's that have the hole. Maybe it's one of those carry-over things but my Cameo is an early build and doesn't have a hole there.

I'm sure you're right, but I still need to satisfy my curiosity about the mystery hole
