You can make yourself real easy. Instead of using a fine-strand wire like what's normally used in AEG's, use a wire with thicker stranding, something like TEW or even the general "hook-up" wire they sell at Crappy Tire. You can see in the pic that they did a wire change from the silicone wiring to something thicker.

Take the conductors side-by-side and wrap them tightly around the shaft of a screwdriver or similar device for 10 or so wraps and VOILA!!

We do that all the time for some control wiring on moving equipment to allow for some play (like in the buffer tube) but not have a jumbled mess of wiring. Works like a charm.
