Can't find the cable I want...

[MattMe]

I'm looking at doing the OEM Bose HU upgrade to change the tape deck to an Aux input. Looks like a relatively simple mod.

 

However, I don't want to have a male phono sticking out of the cubby, I'd rather mount a female in there and plug in cable from my MP3 player, so when it's not in the car I don't have a bundle of cable taking up space.

 

Thing is I can't seem to find a female jack cable with a mounting nut and washer anywhere, looked on Lindys and Maplins and a few other places.

 

I know they exist - anyone got any ideas where I might find one??

 

Cheers.

Sorry im not going to be much help with your needs but I am very interested to know how your going to do this. Im after a AUX input for my BOSE but have no idea how I would go about doing it.

 

If it's not to much trouble could you let me know how to go about changing the tape into an AUX.
