Yeah, I did the "hole in tunnel" thing on my Mk2, but not out of
frustration as I planned it all the way. The angle drive seemed like it
would be a PIA so I didn't use one at all. I used a Greeenlee punch
large enough to pass the serrated cable nut and just curved the cable as
it emerged from the hole. It lies inside the cockpit along the
floor/tunnel edge and exits into the engine/trans thru the former clutch
bleeder access hole. Carpet covers the cable inside and I just fit and
trimmed the bleeder access plug to fit around the cable - same thing for
the new tunnel hole. Everything's neat, clean, and easy to reach. It's
been flawless since 1991 so I wouldn't hesitate to do it again on
another car. Feel free to contact me if you'd like except I'll be away
from Email this p.m. until Monday a.m.
