>From right to left, looking from front towards MB's engine bay:
first two on the right are for wire harnesses
next one gets the coils for throttle and choke cables (both)
next one gets the oil line going to the guauge on the dash
next one gets the speedo cable
next one (almost in middle of firewall) gets the capillary tube
for the engine temp guauge
next one tothe left gets the handbrake cable
there should be one with a small grommet too for the ignition
wire, can't remember, can't see from my picture...maybe one of
the two you are wondering about?

The size of grommets is self-evident from what you have to pass
through
There is one big grommet on the bracket on top of the engine
which keeps the spark plug wires off the head
Not sure of what you mean by grommets and tool box/oil filter
brackets. I am unaware that these require grommets
I never bothered to put a firewall padding on my MB, it does'nt
seem to serve much purpose...
Hope this helps
