I can't take credit my son thought of this. I did not want to guess where to drill the hole for the throttle cable to the pedal. Cannot get a drill from the passenger compartment.
Since the firewall is aluminum. We used a small strong magnet. Put it where we wanted the hole in the passenger compartment and small screw head stuck exactly on the other side.
Drilled the hole from the engine compartment side and it was perfect.
