Shaft adapter cable for Fanatec Direct Drive Wheel Base

So my original wire bundle got all twisted up and broke. I ordered this one to replace it. The new one is exactly the same as the old one apart from the wires being much, much shorter. Too short in fact. The plugs barely poke out of the back of the SRM shaft. Only way to fix it was to extend one of the wire bundles. Once I did this it worked like the original but, definitely frustrating that I had to do this to get it to connect to my DD1.
