It looks as though I'm going to have to thread a thin, so very flexible,

circumstances before but the current stock won't straighten to the
required distance.

I can't get at it from above, but at least the joists run in the right
direction for me.

Tie a thread to a mouse and coax it across to the other hole with
cheese. Tie a string to the thread, pull it through and then the cable.

So what's the best way to do it?

(Perhaps that's not the *best* way to do it.)

Use a very old and infertile mouse.
