It might have a slight compression but really it’s main purpose is to shield and allow free movement of the cable. The o-ring seems to be an overkill sealing element, the tube is snug in the bulkhead with out.
I was afraid of molding costs, might have to reconsider duplicating the funnel and fabricating a metal one.
Thanks Island!

Because of that o-ring groove an injection mold I would expect to be 4-5k, in aluminum; which would be good for a couple thousand parts.
