Going through the stainless portions of the firewall

Collective wisdom - 

I have not yet purchased the manual for the engine installation (doing the
Jabiru 3300).  My question deals with the best way to handle running fuel lines,
cables and wiring through the Stainless Steel portions of the firewall.

As an example, the rudder cables go through a slot in the SS portion of the
firewall.  The rudder cable slots are fairly large (allowing for the nicopress
sleeve and tails on the thimbles)  Are these 'gaping holes' acceptable?

Which of the SS panels are people running their cables and fuel lines through?

Are regular rubber grommets oK in metal that could reach fairly high
temperatures in the event of an engine fire?
