Darn, i knew i should of taken pics as i went along. Basically mate, just 2 connect pins used for joins in aircraft loom's. Luckily one of them comes already at 0.040" which is spot on, unfortunately the other comes in at 0.060", which i turned down by putting the pin in a drill and just carefully turning down against a fine file until i reached 0.050". Then just use a piece of perf board- the one with 2.5mm pitched holes is perfect, i cut out and filed down to shape, then hot glued the pins into place. The best method i could find was just wrapping in nylon/fibregalss tape. If you want i will take some pics showing a few of the steps i took along the way.

All right. Since I'll have to go elsewhere to use a drill I put my extension cable aside for now.. but instead I present:
My first-ever RCA cable. Soldering was much easier than I thought, I've only done very little soldering before and it was closer to ten years ago In fact it was the easiest part imho. There's still lots of room for improvement but it's a start.

Nice. I think I'll give the Viablue Army sleeving a go. Looks nice imo.

I was only able to find the Viablue in 3/8". Is that the only size they offer?

Mine is for 5-17mm cable. So 0.19"-0.66" (whatever that is in fractions)

I found that size (5-17mm) as well. Do you think it's a good match for 6mm OD cables?

Where did you get that twisted pair from? Struggling to find any decent stuff that isn't per 100m reel. Oh and being in the UK doesn't help.
