holes in firewall and what attaches to them 444-544 1961

I took this 1961 544 apart 21 years ago. Took pictures as I disassembled but not of the firewall. I am in the process of cleaning up and filling in the Unnecessary holes and smoothing it out before prime and paint.

Can you take a look and let me know what each numbered hole is used for.

Thanks
Ray j.

      Thanks Michael.

      Number 7 is a short tube sticking through. Can it be eliminated ?

      Best

        Ray;

        If its a tube, it is likely the guide-tube for the chain which raises and lowers radiator bind/jalousie...so the question you must first answer is if you are keeping this accessory.

        Cheers

              Thanks Eric. That took care of that in short order.
              That squareish hole is where the new fuse box comes through from the inside.

              Thanks again

                The hole for the speedometer cable used to be there.
