next time your in the hobby store grab up some plastic hex rod. what ever size you need. now drill at one end the size for the wire to go in and tapper that end down by using a sanding stick. glue the wire in place and cut to length of your fitting. i wish i could show a pic of one i did. look at some fittings, i'm sure you'll get the idea of how they look.

Hi Mother

This sounds like a really good idea. You should think about maybe writing this one up for an article.
