MORE AND MORE MISCELLANEOUS FIXITS (3 of 8)
Firewall Grommets and Plugs
I was missing the clutch delete plug, two firewall pad retainers, and another small square plug of unknown function (same size as the brake cable grommet but with no hole). I got the parts from Wes at ClassicHeartbeat and installed them. No more holes in the firewall !
Holes in Radiator Support
A PO had installed a transmission cooler on the radiator support and drilled two holes through it for the hoses. I fabricated two inserts from the same gauge steel as the support, secured them in place with JB Weld, and painted over the patch with semigloss black. It could use a bit more work to smooth it out but otherwise OK.

After
One steel cooling line from the transmission had been jumpered with short piece of hose when a PO later disconnected the cooler. I hooked the hard line back up to the radiator the way it’s supposed to be.
