Re: Wiring an Elevator

In 2005 we dealt with a similar issue. We had a lot of luck using the "coiled" method (but with a minor twist). We were worried about weakening the wire by heating and coiling it, so instead we wrapped some extra pneumatic tubing around a piece of 2" PVC, and used a heatgun to make it coil (simply heat the coil evenly for perhaps 10 minutes, then let it cool and remove it from the pvc) . We then simply ziptied our wire runs onto the PVC with some light-strength, tiny zipties. Worked like a charm; no problems with connections breaking, and it looks pretty okay.
