Default need an extention cable for my Etrac coil,,,, GOING HIP MOUNTED....

I have an idea to mount the lower shaft and coil on an old Tesoro s-rod, then with about a 3 foot coiled extension cable mount the control box and battery on a sling to wear around one shoulder... this will make it closer to my old eyes and MUCH MUCH lighter,,,,, some one please direct me to a source for the plugs and cable. I will have a professional solder it up for me,,,,,THANKS in advance !!! any advice welcomed !!!!

IM GOING HIP-MOUNT!!!! Well chest actually. Emailed Doc and he says this cable will work for the etrac,,(http://www.docsdetecting.com/docspla...s3.html#bacl22),, have one on the way. Have already mounted my coil on an old Tesoro s-rod and have removed the arm rest and base off the upper rod for mounting a sling to. This puts the control box closer to my old eyes and the coil-rod is light as a feather WHOOOOO-HHOOOOOOO,,,,will posts pics when complete

Please post some pictures! I too have given this idea some serious consideration. Can't wait to see the final product!
