I'm getting ready to replace the 18 awg hard wired power cord on the built in plate amp of an older velodyne subwoofer. Anyone know a source for the plastic connector that holds the cord in place where it passes through the planel of the amp?

Thanks.

    Thanks all. I got very few results searching for strain relief or strain relief connector. Hit the jackpot when I typed strain relief bushing.

    My first preference would be to make a walk in purchase. Have you bought these from these stores before? Where were they located in each respective store?
