Easy to make cable splitter

I tried to get them online but they all sucked, so i made my own cable splitters to use for throttle and clutch control on my motorised tricicle i sent. It is made from 3/4' iron pipe, two brass caps, one smaller pipe, M10 screw, spring and some other screws and nuts, i used M8.

You thread the big pipe, drill holes trough the brass caps where you attach a hollow screw with no slip nuts. If you have a hollow screw then nice, if you don't, just drill it with a drill bit. Then you cut the small pipe, drill a hole, make a M10 thread, then you take the screw, shape the front so its blunt, then take your wire, screw the screw so it holds the wire inside the small pipe and then you shape the screw so it has it's edges shaped like the pipe.

I then heated the small pipe and screw and dipped them in oil so they don't rust, cleaned everything off rust and it was done. It's really simple, i made 2 of them this evening. Best part is that you can use it as a wire extender and wire splitter and the limit of wires it can splot depends on the hollow screw size. I also made the M10 screw's tip rough so it has better grip

If you ise it please show me
