Forrest, I think this is the kind of post you should put under [BUY], I 
nearly missed it. :)

We have a website, www.obd2cables.com where we offer custom cable solutions. 
It's geared toward OBD2, but we could build your cables as well. Considering 
the quantities and the type of cables, I would do this more as a courtesy 
than to make a profit (although we like to at least break even :).

The typical lead time is 6-8 weeks, but if you don't mind paying for air 
shipment, we may be able to get them a couple of weeks sooner.

If you want, send me the drawings and I'll get back to you with a quote: 
vitaliy@obd2cables.com.

Best regards,

Vitaliy
