if at all possible I would try going through an exsisting grommet in the firewall. If not. Make sure you find a place that is easily accessible from both the inside and out. Near where the steering column goes through the firewall maybe?

Make SURE you use a grommet,silicone, or whatever to seal up that hole!

don't drill!

with a little effort you should be able to squeeze the hose through an existing grommet. You're using a very thin plastic hose, right?

Underneath the hood, right by the clutch MC and the hood hinge. Huge grommet. Just slice a hole in the side with a knife and run whatever you need.
