Helmet Headset Cord

I have the premium audio headsets installed in 4 of my wife's and my helmets. 2 are the older ones with the same size 7-pin connector on both ends and 2 are the newer ones with a large connector for the bike end and a smaller connector for the headset. My problem is that one of the older cord's insulation has become brittle and split at the connector. I believe the p/n for the cord is 77148-98b. Finding a replacement cord is tough as that headset was obsolete and superseded by the one with the different sized connectors on the cord, and when you do happen to find one, they want $30 or more for just the cord! Sure, it beats the ridiculous price they are asking for a new (not really all that good, audio-wise) headset but it's a lot more than I want to pay for just a coil cord. The headsets I have work...OK...and (mostly because they are installed in the helmets which I don't care to do again) I would prefer to use them until they some day fail.

My question is, does anyone know where the plug connectors can be purchased individually so I can make my own cord or does anyone have a headset laying around that may have gone bad that has a good cord that they (preferably) want to donate to a worthy charity (me), or, at least be gentler on my wallet than the going cost for one of these cords?

Unemployment sucks!

that's a standard 7 pin connector used in a lot of audio setups such as DJs and such and can be had from Radio Shack. Take it with you and have them match it up.
