I'm considering completely rewiring my USS-8-64K.  The problem I'm having is finding replacement flexible sheathing/conduit to run the wires through.  My machine originally used a clear, flexible plastic product called Temflex 105C, but I can't find a non-industrial or non-military source to purchase a small quantity from.

With that being said... what do you guys use as conduit/sheathing?  My main concern is where it has to pass through existing holes in the door.

Wee's correct, it's just clear PCV tubing sold at many big-box hardware stores.

the problem I'm having is that the tubing they sell is not the correct diameter to fit through the pre drilled holes in the cabinet.
