The responses to your original question have been pretty unanimous - DON'T DO IT!! You have been given the reasons why. If you stubbornly insist on proceeding, why did you bother to ask for our input?
well initially it was for saving money then I had a thought it would be good to know in case I had to do a repair at a time when ordering cables wouldn't be possible.
I'm going to keep my eye open for.the perfect splice and try out the knot suggested earlier and you can't stop me lol
