Hey All,
Very new to the forum, but I need some help and thought this would be the best place to go to.
I'm installing a CB on my 05' Ranger 4x4 automatic XLT and am mounting the antenna on the hood (off to the side). I want to run both the power cables for the radio and the antenna through the firewall to make it look neat.
I was thinking about drilling into the rubber grommet with the other dashboard cables (to the top left of the breaks) and feeding both through. I would then recaulk the gap with silicone. Would that be acceptable? Could it let in exhaust or other nasty stuff into the cab?

PS - I'm also wondering about connecting it the the battery. I have an auxillary horn connected direct to the battery and have confirmed I can do the same with my CB radio. Does it matter whether I put a plastic washer between the two? Can the two ring wire connectors touch?
