Battery box grommet
Im wanting to run heavy cables into the battery box through me of the blanked-off holes. I want to use a grommet but am struggling to find the part no for the grommets that can be cut to run cables through them. Can anyone help?

I think the hole size in the battery box is 35mm.

Skin top gland is what you need. Come in various sizes and available through any good electrical wholesaler for a couple of quid max (for the size you want). Tighten the rear and the rubber insert tightens on the cable to make a weather proof seal. RS Components would be a good start. If you can't get what you're after drop me a 'pm' and I'll have a rummage and post you a couple.

You might get away with a 32mm one?

Steve, just drill out and fit a plastic skin top gland. Come in various sizes 20mm or 25mm should be ideal for what you want. Thumbs Up



Alternatively if you're going to protect the wiring use Copex and a propper Copex gland...
