Trouble is that you cant undo the motor controler, or pot. So you cant actually get to the start of end of the ribbon. Well, not without breaking it open. <br clear="none">

The ribbon cable you can buy by the roll. I would get new connectors and cable and make longer ones.<br clear="none">

Hi All,<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Does anyone have any experience in<br clear="none">
cutting\re-joining thin ribbon type cable. I'm<br clear="none">
going to modify my motor controllers so that the buttons are<br clear="none">
on the handles like they should be. Where they are at the<br clear="none">
moment its awkward to steer and operate the power at the<br clear="none">
same time. Ideally i'd like to cut the ribbon cable<br clear="none">
and extend it so i can have the pots on the handles. But<br clear="none">
im not sure if I cut the cable, i'll be able to get them<br clear="none">
back together.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Its the 3 white ribbon cables in this picture, with the<br clear="none">
blue pots on the end. I want to extend these to the<br clear="none">
handles.<br clear="none">

<br clear="none">
Also looks like Jim K has done a similar thing on<br clear="none">
Guppy. Last pictures on his page.<br clear="none">

Anyone cut these type of cables and got them back<br clear="none">
together?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
