One addendum to your instructions.... Don't cut the cord that close to the plugs!! Leave yourself a couple feet and toss them in a drawer to use for a different project when you need a plug!

You seem to not consider the possibility of -replacing the entire cord- with it, which really should work just fine..assuming the requirements of the application are about the same.
