The rectangular hole in the firewall is 1.3" at it's widest point diagonally. The cable retainer ("Retainer #2") is 1" x 2". However, you can't flip it over because it's clamped onto the cable. So unless I'm missing something, I'm left trying to get a 2" part through a 1.3" hole...........On a side note, I found the hole in the F/W is bent toward the engine compartment along the LH (truck side) edge. I doubt that's intended, but I hadn't noticed it with the grommet in place.
But yep, it connects at the protrusion in the frame approx. 5" in front of the front cab mount. Looks to be just a nut, I'll see in a little bit.
