Looks like a good idea. Still have to drill a hole in your roof, massive too, lol.
They appear to have different sizes.

We run them on our ambulances. Really good quality and zero leaks. I've personally used them to run wires thru the hull of my boat for the sonar wires. Sent from my Home Phone using Tapatalk |
