Rubber grommets for wiring loom ect

Post by lloydy »

Hi all, is there a website that someone can recommend that sells this kind of thing? I want to bring a bunch of wires into the van from outside. The grommet needs to be pretty big, all the cables together will have a circumference of around a 1"-1 1/2" . It would also be super handy if the grommet had a 45 degree entrance from outside. Is there even a similar grommet used on our vans already?
Many thanks :D

(I was wondering what a wiring loom ect was. :D )

I would look for through deck glands if you want it to be watertight also. Like these (40mm/1.5in.) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Index-Marine- ... 589b5319fc
