help me think of a part name
« on: September 07, 2006, 08:17:50 pm »
I'm looking at doing a case mod.  I want to cut a custom hole in the side of my computer case.  I don't want to use a window kit due to the indentions in the door.  What I'm looking for is the rubber / plastic / ?? gasket type thing that I can place along the edge of the metal where I cut it.  The plexi will mount behind it using tabs.  What would I use in Google to search for this?  I've tried a couple of different thing but can't seem to find it.  I've also looked on some modding sites and I must just be missing it.  Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, kinda like the stuff you can get at the auto parts store for the edge of your car doors to prevent chips and dings.
(in your case to cover the cut edge and act as trim also)

This stuff is rather creatively named "door edge molding" if that's what you're after.

no he's not.  He's looking for edge modling to go around a custom cut case window.   Grommets are for individual holes, not a window.
