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