I am nearly done with my control panel. All I have left is to connect the optical assembly on the bottom of my Happ optical rotary stick to my Opti-Pac. I was wondering about the best way to do this. The stick comes with a very short cable that ends in a small 3/8" 4 pin connection. It's basically the same size as a floppy drive 4-pin connection. I thought about using an old floppy cable, but it still might not reach.

Any other ideas? Would wire-wrapping work well? Could I snip the cables and splice them? Is there a better cable out there I haven't found yet? What have you guys with rotary sticks done?
