To get to the same diameter as the stock cable I used steel braided hose with an extra layer of brass braiding, which had the extra advantage of being much easier to solder without burning the rubber hose. I made a simple fixture to hold the bits together when soldering and went to the Hague where Willem was going to do the soldering.

Next job was to make a flaring tool to fix the packing nuts on the end of the cable shields. I used the end of an old bent FLH forkleg to make part 02 because it had a nice inner thread and would save me some time, there is no such thing as scrap metal!

The flaring tool worked as it should, so now I could complete all the cable shields!
