I used braided cable from Home Depot (1/16 or 3/32") something like that, they sell it by the foot. The ferrules are right next to it in the aisle.
They have the single and double ferrules, IIRC I had to sand down the single ferrule or cut half (one of the openings) of the double ferrule off so that it would fit in the end of the thermostat. Total was less than $5 and maybe an hour time (lazy Saturday) For length I just installed the cable when everything was cold, pulled the flaps down and tightened up the pinch, then installed the ferrule right above the pinch so it is easy to get back to the right length |
