Very nice! They look better than the ones I got from Year One. Top stuff.

Looks a very neat job

But............. as far as I know (never had a set, meself, but) the ones you get from the likes of Year One have a clear plastic sheath along the length of the wire to stop it damaging the front of the hood/trim etc.
Over time, even the protected wire can leave a mark on the leading edge, so you may want to think about fitting some kind of insulation

Good point, already thought of that as well

The cable is covered in plastic, just doesn't look like it in the photos.

Cheers

Looks less obvious than the usual repro parts

I could probably make some up for not a lot of money.

Work out some cost's Jon and do an initial run of 10/15 sets.

I'd be up for a set dependant on price!
