I did this, and I just used the best stuff I could get my hands on. It is very easy to solder to the clips on the circuit board, so you don't need to buy new ones. I used Belden 19364 (or whatever the crump recipe uses) wrapped in teflon tape. Worked like a charm. On the chassis, I cut out the hole for the IEC using a dremel tool, and used JB weld to beef up the chassis inside so I could use a heavy powercord (shunyata black mamba) without bending the chassis. Just use as short a run of cable inside as possible, and you'll be fine. Cheers!Brian
