Default Getting wires through the wirewall?

I own a 1998 C-70, I am trying to do a couple different upgrades but so far we have ran into the same problem! I cannot find anywhere to run wires from the cab to the engine through the firewall? Can anyone help?

If you have searched and can not go through an existing grommet with your power wire then I would advise you make a path. Either go to Sears and buy a titanium unibit and drill the hole where the clutch bracket would be, or go to your local stereo shop and have them drill a hole. Do not forget to use a grommet, I prefer a circuit breaker near the battery and not an in-line fuse.

There should be a tube that is already there from the factory to run wires into the cabin.
It is the corrigated looking wire loom stuff. There is a rubber grommet on the end of it with little nipple looking things on it. You would either poke a hole and feed the wire through or cut the end off and feed it through. It should run through the firewall under the brake booster.
