Firewall Help Needed
I am cleaning up the firewall on my 65 SBSS; the PO drilled a number of holes. I want to weld up everything that I am not going to use. I am trying to figure out what the two holes circled below are for. I really would appreciate some guidance on what the holes are for. Thanks!

Re: Firewall Help Needed
Not to create confusion, I was looking into grommets for those holes for my '64 over the weekend and the big one had nothing going through it, the small one had the speedometer cable, and the parking brake cable went through the rectangular hole just below the steering opening.

Re: Firewall Help Needed
The small hole next to the large one is where the plug for the tail lights harness goes through.

Re: Firewall Help Needed
wrong sir. tail lights goes higher on the fire wall. the big hole is the clutch rod hole. it large because of the swing of the bell crank. When factory it has a boot on it.
