I'm going to hard wire an Acrolink 6N-P4030 Power Cable into a vintage tube amp.

Any recommendations on stress relief grommets or other suggestions?

Thanks?

You can also use a Female Chassis IEC Connector

Measure the exact Outside Diameter of your Power Cable and then use one of the many choices from Mouser or any electronic supply company...

Use your present Captured Power Cord and cut off all but the last 6 to twelve inches and install a cord mounted Female IEC Connector... (Schurter 4735.0000)
