Wiring Custom Mono Jack Cables

[son of frog]

Hi there,
I have a couple of queries as to how to do this, My pedalboard is looking scruffy and mismatched and i've been looking into
making my own length jack cables, Here are the ends i will be purchasing...

I want to know where i can buy the 1/4 inch cable to use, and with this type of jack plug, will i have to solder it or will the two screws hold it firmly enough in place?

Hope i've worded this in a way thats not too difficult to understand.
Links to website where i can buy the raw cable would be useful too as every time i've searched all i get is pre-built cables.

The termination of the conductors will need soldering, if you mean the 2 screws that hold the top on the casing, that's all they do.

okay thanks, I have a soldering iron so not a problem.

Would i be right in assuming this is the right kind of cable for a mono jack - jack?
