Lcastell -

You did a REAL NICE JOB documenting the work you did. The photos are great, and the fact that you attached them directly to your post means they won't disappear when some outside photo-hosting site shuts down and swallows them. A surprisingly common problem.

And you also did real nice job with the work itself. I would have done the same thing, with only one exception. As an electrical guy, I hate electrical tape. After a while, it dries out, unsticks itself, unwinds, and falls off. There are two alternatives that I think are better. One is self-fusing electrical tape. You wrap it on, and the layers actually melt into each other, so they can't separate and come off. The other is liquid electrical tape, a thick goo in a bottle that you paint onto the joint.

Bottom line - thanks again. The snake cables are obviously vulnerable to damage, and your post will help someone in the future.
