Tidying cable holes in modified ikea cabinets ?

flipside · 14-11-2009, 1:57 PM

Hi

I'm planning to mod some ikea cabinets i have to take my AV boxes but to do so i need to cut holes in the back to run the cables through. Now i know no-one will see the holes but im a bit of a neat freak so would like to find some white plastic ring grommit thing to snap into the hole to make it look better , is there such a thing on the market ?

Ive done a bit of searching but nothing come up though not really knowing what it would be called doesn't help

Thanks

Matt

Excellent well ive now gone from no clue to too much choice

Joking aside many thanks it was driving me nuts trying to think what words to search for between playing with the kids and engaging with my wife

OK they only sell them in batches of 1000 , i wonder if maplins or farnell sell them in less quantities ..

Ebay is normally a great source for items like this.

Hi,

Just thought id post a follow up, Ive tried a number of grommets but they currently all seem to be for chassis of 1.5mm think and the back panel is about 5mm (that discounts the desk tidy's as well as they are 4cm deep at best)

My Quest continues for a 40mm max diam 5mm chassis grommet

oh and happy new year all
