Firewall Bulkhead connector

[vitamindart]

What's everyone using for running either an aftermarket wire harness or accessories through the firewall? thinking I'm going to mount my MS3 in the car to keep it away from the heat ect. just trying to get some ideas on the best way to run that bundle of wires through the firewall.

I ran all my wires through a grommet down low on the firewall and tranny tunnel.

I got that recessed firewall box from @HemiDenny to give me room for wires from the back of my BB valve cover as I raised up the engine a bit to clear steering gear. I put a hole with grommet in the side of it and am able to run all my wires inside even with bulky connectors as its two pieces scalloped together. solved some problems for me and still able to run factory style bulkhead.

I used the Clutch bar linkage plug as I have an auto trans. I ran my Starter cable in and through to my trunk mounted Solenoid and battery.

You also can actually easily make a plate that will snap in --in place of the original bulkhead connector, using original retainers and gasket.

So tell us more, show more pics. Looks like the connection we used on communication devices we used on the railroad. Radio and end of train devices. Is that something universal?

Looks maybe like what is called amphenol (sp?) plug?

You nailed it. And they are expensive. I didn't dig too deep. But found one on Amazon for $124. Some were a lot cheaper on eBay.

They are pricey and a total pain to build but there is a reason they get all the harsh duty assignments. They are indestructible.

What is the current rating?
Might be trading one problem for another?

That one is meant for signals, not power. They have other ones with thicker pins to carry power. We use these all over on submarines.

Pro tip, start in the middle and work your way out. Also have a couple of pin insertion/extraction tools around.
