I noted that my firewall was cracking at the starter cable pass-through.

I cut out the cracked section.

I added a patch to cover the damaged section. Also added a couple of spherical "eyeball" fittings to support the penetrations of the other cables (mixture, throttle, oil temp, tach).

Here's a close-up of the spherical cable fittings These are made by DoubleTee. I had these custom drilled to support two pass-throughs each. I highly recommend these.
