Post Number: 1325 Registered: Jun-07	Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - 01:12 GMT cut wire to the same lengths as those little things and use that in place of the little cables that came with it if those things arent staying and annoying you. they should fit pretty snug though. its up to you really. get what im sayin?
