    Curly/Spring cords

    Anyone where to get some curly cords, like what you use to connect buttons on the steering wheel?

    Needs to be 3wire at least.

    http://www.curlycords.com.au/ has steering wheel cords for $45.

    Surely somewhere else would have them cheaper. I just tried searching for spiral wire, coiled wire etc...

    The ghetto way is using a phone handset cord :P otherwise fork out around 30-50 for one with multiple cores.

    Phone chargers tend to be 2 wire, otherwise i would have done that. Going to see if i can get a CB extension cable, they are usually 4 pin.

    Yeah, interested. Will get back to you if i cant find a CB cable.

    Its just for the buttons to control the dash unit, doubt there would be much current at all.

    Yeah. The ones I have were CB cables. I tried to find where I got them from. Cost around $20 each.

    Yeah, sure. Is one enough? The other couple are soldered to things, and I can't figure out if I'm finished working on them.

    Here is a pic next to a rodent for size comparisons. It has four insulated conductors and a shield.
