How to build audio jacks in the backpanel of your MAME cab?

The problem is that i haven't got the equipment and i don't know how to solder.

So a solder free solution would be very nice :)

Why put them in the back? Put the at the front and make a feature of them:

   

There are a few more examples here

Thats pretty much what I did for the I/O panel for my cocktail:



I used two female RCA couplers for audio in/out and video out and connected RCA>3.5mm jacks to the PC for the audio.

Have you considered using modular wall plates?  These are available at any box hardware store and give you the ability to build a plate that matches exactly the connections that you need.  The available connectors are expanding, so you can get pretty much anything you need these days.  You could actually take a blank plate and make your own with a drill/dremel tool/nippers, but this is quicker albeit more expensive.

Here's one place that I grabbed off google that shows some examples of what I'm talking about.  I have no affiliation with them, they were just the first hit that looked right.

EDIT:  Here's  a better place from the looks of it.  I've at least heard of them too:

And because i'm building a bartop, then there isn't any room for at the front, so that's why it's at the back.
