Custom Cable: Fill the gap between Case and Cable

[Kalp1]

Hello,

So I've made a custom Cable for my filco.

How did you manage to fill the gap between the hole in the case and the cable ?


Used some heatshrink, but It doesn't feel really solid and reliable.


In other word: How do you replace this ? (and how do you call it?)

Option 1 - carefully slit the rubber piece pictured and glue it on the bottom of the cable out of sight.

Option 2 - make a replacement out of Sugru

I think I'll go for this one, even if it make a big gap when I put it back on the larger cable's diameter.

In English it would be called a rubber grommet.

Hardware stores sell them, usually for plumbing purposes. If both ends of the cable already have attachments, you will have to cut it.

Thank you, would never thought that a "grommet" could make the job.
