Re: AAW install

I'm thinking of replacing the wiring in my truck. There's a lot of M Mouse stuff left over from when my FiL owned it. Nice to see that it went easily. Time, I have.

Hi Michael, the kit is for a 67-72 so I'm assuming the part # is correct.
The screws you see are what is provided in the kit but I will change mine out for something different for sure. I'm going to end up cutting them off close to flush or through bolting with the nuts on the inside.

Re: AAW install

Does the kit come with some way to cover up the cut in the firewall around the bulkhead connector? I believe the stock bulkhead connector on the engine compartment side is actually larger than the hole in the firewall so it conceals the hole and allows for a seal to be used between the connector and firewall. Seems like AAW should address this if they haven't already.

Re: AAW install

The kit comes with a template for the firewall opening.
I cut my hole as tight as possible and the gap you see is overlapped by the gasket inside......I hope that makes sense

There is foam on the inside that seals. If you want a real clean look in the engine bay then you need to do a bit of work, or make a collar or something. But it does seal.

Re: AAW install

Ok. Thanks for all the replies about the bulkhead connector seal! Good to know for a future project that I want to use the AAW kit on.

Re: AAW install

I am pretty sure the part number for the 67 is the same.
