Hyraulic clutch bulkhead pass through?

[CptMorgan]

I have the Wilwood / FFR factory hydraulic clutch. It comes with a short hose.

How am I supposed to run this through the foot box wall? Am I missing a bulkhead fitting?
Is there supposed to be a cover or seal for this hole?

People usually run the hoses for the brake and clutch reservoirs thought that hole and buy a grommet to seal around the hoses and the hole.

The hydraulic clutch hose is usually run through the inside panel of the footbox (use another grommet), down to the transmission.

Cap'n,

I think most builders drill a pass-thru on the inner driver's side footbox panel. I've also seen clean installations pointing downward when using a forward firewall panel (FFMetals). I'm planning a different layout since I'm going to make a central console (and I can hide the pass-thru in there).

As Mat1 said , the hole in the front of the pedal box is often used for the brake and clutch hoses to the reservoirs. I used a 90 bulkhead fitting on the engine side of the pedal box to run the clutch line down to the transmission

Just to be clear -- direct answer to your question: No, don't run the connection from the hydraulic MC to the clutch slave through that hole in the front of the footbox. A much more direct route is through the side or bottom of the footbox as others have suggested. I use the same hole as the one for the rear harness.

I did a -3 AN bulkhead fitting through the side of the footbox.

I ran my line under the square dash tube

Perfect. Thank you!

I'll block off that hole, buy a bulkhead fitting and run it out of the footbox inside.
