Hope no-one was interested, these have gone back and I've been refunded in full.

On a more positive note all the other bits/connectors/extensions I ordered have now arrived so I went back looking for a route from boot to cabin.

With that big "bung" out I actually used a length of TV aerial cable to do the same thing. Nice and easy, only took about 5 minutes in total including emptying the boot and putting everything back. It's a nice big hole down there, though I felt a bit silly disappearing deep into the boot with only my legs waving outside!
Tomorrow I'll use that cable as a pull-through to feed through what I need. To cover all the options I'll have extension cables for power, remote IR link and 2 aerials at least.
