instead of using a rubber grommet and just pushing the heater hose through the firewall i came up with this. just a coupler and two barbed fittings that will smash the firewall between the big washers.



i think i found an orange that closely matches



and here is the piece i am going to use for my new dash (rough cut of course)



other than that it was a day to clean the shop after i got off work.

got my valve covers, quality looks great except the bolts are too long lol, i contacted the company and am waiting to hear back from them.



also you can see in the background that i installed the barbed fittings for my heater hoses to go through the firewall.
