Hi Guys,

I'm about to refurb my old Specialized Sirrus & I need help naming a small part of the frame finishing components to replace one that is missing. Basically it's the metal collar that sits into the frame where the internal gear cabling goes. Spent ages googling it this afternoon with no success but that's probably because I don't know what the part is called! Help me out with the name of this small part please? Thanks.

Thanks guys, tried loads of different words today, ferrule, frame insert, collar etc etc, no joy, Grommet is a good call, never thought of that one, thanks OldShep, just googled that and definitely getting nearer, but can only find rubber grommets.....closer....but no cigar yet! Keep the ideas coming peeps. Thanks.

Problem Solved, when OldShep mentioned grommets that got me thinking outside the box, so had a dig around in my spare parts storage case and found these M5 Rivnuts which I'd bought to add extra bottle bosses to frames. They fit the frame perfectly and hold the 4mm gear outing snugly once a plastic ferrule is fitted. Wasted a whole afternoon googling stuff that I already had :-) Thanks for the help & inspiration guys, much appreciated.
