Smiling Fox Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I think your wire may be a bit too big in diameter. The correct wire isn't round, it's flat on the sides and rounded at the top and bottom. I can't find it now but there was a thread posted not too long ago that showed someone with the correct wire.
Stroker Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 For the hose I used a black 1.25" od hydraulic hose. As for the wire I used the old coil type RJ 11 wire here's a pic.

stasz Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Props for taking a crack at it! Those small details are what really pushes your costume to the next level. I do agree with the above comment, I think your wrap is a little too large and the general consensus is that it's not really round, per sé, but more like a telephone type wire. Hard to tell from the pic but your pipe looks straight, and it should have a slight curve along your back when wearing it. That's where a hydraulic or radiator type hose would work great. Awesome that you want to go the extra mile, though. Keep used posted! 1
stasz Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Man, that looks pretty good! What's the cable you're using?

I couldn't tell if it was round or not, but I think your right it does look more flat. I just finished it up and looks alright, I think I'll leave it for now since I just killed my grip strength trying to put it on lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

I can't find it now but there was a thread posted not too long ago that showed someone with the correct wire. If it's the thread I'm thinking of, there was a bunch of theories being thrown around. I don't think it got definitely pinned down what the original wrap was, but there was talk of U channel - which would have the flat sides and rounded bottom you mentioned, and that RJ11 cable Stroker used. That's what I was talking about by telephone wire. 1

stasz Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Yep, I see it now in your second pic. Nice job dude!
cheesewhoopy Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Man, that looks pretty good!What's the cable you're using? Thanks! I used a Ethernet cable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
cheesewhoopy Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Ok last of my pictures haha here it is with the clips, I'm pretty happy with it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
chillywill22 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 That looks really good. Huge props for doing that.
Retrofire Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 That's looking really great! I'm using the RJ11 that Tim suggested and wrapping it around my SC hose. Make sure if you do this to get at least 25ft (8m) of the stuff. It takes more than you think.😀

Strider Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Looks great, bro. The original wire was kind of 'roundish' as well so that's not a biggie. Also the color is pretty close. The main thing with this cable really is that the diameter is 5mm and not 3mm. But it's one of the best I've seen so far - good job! 2

3DImpact Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Looking really nice! Can I ask what clips you used and where you got them? They look really good... Dan
