What are they called ?

I would show a picture but you need to know what they are called to find one

I am looking for what I assumed was called a grommet. It is a plastic structure that goes through a hole in the headstock ( or whatever ) to protect and trap a cable. It has a screw thread so you can lock it in place and trap the cable at the same time ?

Hi Graham

Are you boxing the original multi control from the headstock to make it a remote one with on/off, Rev/fwd and speed control instead of the straight on/off on the supplied remote one, or wiring a completely new one?

Hi Phil
My original intent was to use the twist switch from the remote combined with the forward/reverse and speed dial from the headstock and put them in a new box but it turned out that the remote switch wasn't NVR which I wanted and the push pull on the headstock wasn't 'takeoff able' either. So I have settled for getting rid of the existing remote and moving the whole headstock panel, as is, into a remote box. I don't like the stiffness of the push pull switch but you only have to use it once a day.

I have got as far as removing the remote from the equation but decided the 5 core cable I have is to stiff so I am going to get some 5 core rubber cable if I can find some, and I have to go get a gland.

Ah, that was my plan as well. I had the AT1628 with the complete control box remote, so have decided to make the 3520's remote as good by doing your project, housing the complete control panel in a project box, adding magnets in the base. I have rubber trailer lighting cable which is quite flexible.

Screwfix does it all. (I have no connection with them if you'll pardon the pun)
