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

5 and 6 are for thr electric cables, 8 is the heater valve. 3 might be the choke cable, 2 and 4 no idea ?
Regards Michael

Thanks Michael.

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

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 Ron.
I am not keeping the curtain.

1. Large wire to ignition switch, smaller starter trigger & generator light wires
2. Firewall insulation clip
3. Choke cable and water temperature gauge capillary tube
4. Firewall insulation clip
5. Upper fusebox wires & harness
6. Lower fusebox wires & harness
7. Radiator blind chain
8. Heater valve
9. Brake light switch wires, I think?
10. Firewall insulation clip

What's the squarish hole next to hole 2? That isn't stock.

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
Ray J.

The hole for the speedometer cable used to be there.
