DIY ear buds?

I'm looking for a resource to find some ear bud drivers. My PK3s recently died (almost positive it's a problem with the jack) and it's a solid excuse to investigate DIY ear buds.

 

Does anyone know where to find drivers? I'm interested in 9mm dynamics.

 

Also, judging from my PK3s (ok, I took them apart), I just need

 

(1) Cable (Mogami is my preference)

(2) A jack 

(3) Enclosure (my old PK3s)

(4) Drivers

(5) Soldering materials and skills

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

It's probably just a break in the wire so why not just recable them?

Yeah, I'm certain that it's a break in the wire. But I'm looking for a nice DIY project. So you don't have any helpful information about OEM ear bud drivers?

Try Mouser: Speakers & Transducers

 

Use the Dimensions filter to find a suitable size.

Much appreciated! Exactly what I was looking for. I'll try to post pics if I get around to starting this project :P
