I have three questions concerning the mounting of the fuse block / bulkhead to the inside of firewall and then the attachment of the engine and front light wiring harnesses to the bulkhead on the engine side.
1) The connector plugs on the ends of the engine and front light wiring harnesses fit into each other and then both are attached to the bulkhead with one bolt. My question is....what does that bolt thread into? Whatever was on the backside of my bulkhead is gone. When I spread the fuseblock and bulkhead apart, all I see on the back of the bulkhead is the round hole in the plastic for the bolt to go through and nothing else. I would have thought there would be some kind of "captured" nut back there. (See the first two photos)
2) The third photo is from the AIM showing the attachment of the fuse block / bulkhead to the firewall. In View-A, it shows sealant to be applied but I am not sure to where. First off, what kind of sealer would that be? And does it go on the entire foam gasket to seal the gasket to the inside of of the firewall and then help seal the wiring harness connectors to the gasket? When I took this apart, I didn't see any evidence of any kind of sealer.
3) And lastly, the two long screws that attach the fuse block / bulkhead to the firewall. They came with sealer on the threads After having been threaded in once already, part of that sealer is gone. If I just replace the missing sealer with strip caulk, will that seal just as well?
Thanks.....Dave
