Hello,

I am restoring my 70 Bee and I cannot figure out where this goes, I am thinking it may go behind the kick plate but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated, pics would be helpful as well.

Thanks,

Jeff

Behind the kick plate. two Christmas tree fasteners hold it in place. All the wires pass through it.

If your restoring a 70 b why are you using that grommet on the dimmer switch??? That's a GM thing.

I couldn’t have a GM thing on my car......
