I'm fitting a coolant alarm and have a couple of questions. How do I get wires from inside the van (the dash) to the header tank for the radiator, is there a hole I can use or do I have to drill through?
Also, I was going to use the blanked off switches for the LED and test button, do they just pull out or is it more complicated than that? Thanks in advance.

Behind the glove box is a huge rubber grommet
Push a coat hanger through it tape your cables to it and pull it back jod done
Think the blanks have a Lig behind each side which needs squeezing in , might just pop out with a flat head driver and a bit of work
Gas safe heating engineer / plumber if you need any advice just shout.

Also a grommet on RH side of bulkhead.
If having difficulty removing blanks in the instrument surround, this comes off dead easy (4 screws, 2 top, 2 bottom) giving full access to its switches and blanks.

I used that one. I wanted to mount my warning light in the instrument cluster so it made sense to lead wires in on that side.
