Looking For An Easy To Use/Fix 3.5mm (mini) Plug - Suggestions?

I have recabled my D1001, almost.

 

I have/had a Canare F12 but it was too difficult to fix without the guide holes other jacks have. I've given up after trying quite a lot (I stopped because I had to - I had tightened the clamp too juch and couldn't pry it open. I am inexperienced and have a poor soldering iron.

 

I'm looking for a similar plug - cable diameter with nylon multifilament is around 7mm, so something full-sized would be great - as long as there are the guide holes for ring, sleeve and tip.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks cuberspyder.

 

I spoke to a local company and went for a cheaper Neutrik plug which also has the holes on the terminals.

 

I've spent close to a third of the what I paid for the D1001 on recabling (and it's not perfect - bit short because I had problems and had to cut away, but it's a good experience and still much better than stock cable which was permanently tangled).
