I am hoping that someone(s) can give me some advice on cable window
entries. I am looking for something like a 1/4" thick aluminum strip to
go in the window track. The tracks are 38.5 inches apart. I was unable
to find a 4 inch wide aluminum flat bar strip at a reasonable price ($40
for the strip and $40 for shipping). I did find a 3 inch wide strip and
do have that. What I want to know is what length I need to cut it to.
If I make it the full 38.5 inches long then how do I get it into the
tracks since I can't slide it in from the end? If I cut it to say 38
inches then what do I use to fill the other 1/2 inch (or 1/4 inch on
each end)? Do I just use stick on weather stripping?
The second part is, how do I make the D shaped holes for the SO239
bulkhead feedthroughs or the UG492 BNC bulkhead feedthroughs? I am sure
my 5/8" Greelee punches will not even make a dent in the strip. I do
not have access to a vertical mill to cut the holes.
Thank you for your help.
