[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 427480, member: 13599"] Bird - I agree with your concept. I personally would skip the tube idea and use grommets. either one 1/2" grommet for each cable (two holes each end) or one grommet to hold both cables (one hole each end. Just a thought. [ATTACH type="full" alt="grommet.jpg"]89485._xfImport[/ATTACH] if you wanted to use thin wall PVC pipe, cap one end. put some clean sand in a pot on your stove and get it very hot - pour the sand into the pipe, tap it to settle the sand then cap the top. with gloves on, bend the pipe to shape when it gets pliable. Let it cool. cut pipe longer than you think is necessary - cut it to desired length after it cools. the black corrougated plastic drain pipe is sold at BPS by the foot in different diameters. the common plastic drain fittings will look nice also.
