They call it a butt splice kit, they run about 9.95 at low's or home depot, and you get a heat shirnk Gun , take you end off the cable and slide theses over the bad spots and heat shirnk it on, thier's only one to a package so measure how many you need and when you shrink them on it won't leak or nothing. here are some pictures of the kit on the right in the red container and my patch work.

Harold,

Where did you get the strain reliefs from? I have been making my own but have been looking for ones like you have pictured.

Thanks!

A solution I've used, in the past, is to simply cut the cable a few inches from the coil (your photo shows the cable is ok at that point) and put in a new section up to the socket. Then use heat shrink sleeving only on the repair joint.

I think that is the route I would go Too!

Just be sure to use the same wire gauge and type if you can.

You might try the stuff to coat pliers and other tool handles. you could dip small parts of the cable at a time.

Heat Shrink become quite stiff after applied.

I would us a vinyl sleeve and apply the shrink to the ends only!

Be sure to use the type that has adhesive within.

Hi, kt315. Thanks, that is VERY interesting, now I need to find a distributor here in the states...it looks exactly what I need.

Only minor thing to it I will need to take the connector off in order to feed cable to the tubing, I hope I can do that!

Thanks!
