well the shortest is 10cm... so I can see why he wants it short. On my 415 I only need 4.5

thats twice the cable to stuff somewhere and twice the chance something can go wrong

I wouldn't do it. This is straight from Novak Customer Service:

The sensor wires are pretty tough to shorten. The wire used is teflon stuff and it's a pain to solder with. I've seen most "shortening" jobs come in for replacement.
