I'm sending the car our to have the interior updated and cleaned up, I'm going to do the trunk over as well. Looking for a few ideas on how to plumb the fuel lines and electrical needed to the fuel cell/pump located in my trunk. Also looking to clean up the trunk mount battery, Batt cutoff, and Starter noid.. The routing I had was done component by component and often mid-season so I kinda hacked it together...
The trunk will be carpeted and I plan to have a wall to hide the rear quarter area I'll also run as much wiring as possible behind the wall as well. I'm not doing this to win a show or anything like that, just want to clean up the look and keep access to things I need as easy as possible, for example the quarter walls will be velcro'd so I can get at the relays and fuses easily if I have a problem.
Here is where I started from, looks okay from 10 feet... but it needed help...

Nasty ass wiring I pulled out.

The fuel feed and return will be leaving the trunk toward the rear and on the passenger side thru the floor. I was wondering what kind of grommet to use and then started to think about maybe putting a bulkhead fitting in. Any thoughts about using a bulkhead fitting? Feels like that would be a decent option.
I also have two 1/0 lines and two 4AWG lines that need to exit the trunk to support the Ground, Starter, Alt, and Engine bay power distribution block. Are there cooler options for those than just a grommet?
I guess I'm also looking for ideas for the relays, fuses, etc...
Again not a show car, this thing is CONSTANTLY being worked on so I want to balance clean with functional.
