I hard wired 1/8" mono plugs to three Vivitar 285 HV flashes.
Now I'm able to plug my vivitar flashes directly to my pocket wizards. I was having connection issues with the cables typically used. In short, this mod rocks.
I now have three, very solid, remote flashes (stoked!).

This was a quick test shot with the three flashes... It was hastily put together and the resulting image is whatever, but I was stoked to use the three modded remote flashes.
