Do you have a picture of your homemade contraption that you could post?

That weedwhacker line is handy stuff. I've used it to re-attach my gas cap to the truck when the original quit. Also, the trailer electrical connector cap at the back of the truck, the rubber rotted. You can slip it thru holes, then melt the end and flare it - it won't come apart, rot, or wear out. My 2 cents.

Sounds like a cool do it yourself deal, even to just give to buddies, but I wouldn't be wrapping em up for Christmas gifts.

No, we don't care.
