Brutalform Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The boot wire that MAD includes is black. I've searched high and low at local electronic outlets, hardware stores etc. Trying to find some tan and gray solid core wire in that gauge, to use for MSD and Accel plug wires. I was told I would probably not find any that size. Any suggestions?? Even tried to use some old land line phone wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pol Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 maybe some of hook up wiring in the train section of your hobby shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hiroboy in the uk sell grey wire. Or if you have an old x-box controller with a cord it has a lighter grey and a sort of tan colour wire in the cord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 maybe some of hook up wiring in the train section of your hobby shopThe last hobby/train shop in my area is closed. I'm just grateful my local hardware store, where I go now carries kits, all Tamiya paints, X-Acto, etc. He has no wire this size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thanks for the help. I think I might just try a little paint and dull coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutalform Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks for the help everyone. Thanks Chris. That's exactly what I'm looking for. They are on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 The wire came today, but it wont work for what I'm trying to achieve. The wire is the same gauge as the MAD ignition wire, NOT the boots. At least I got some cool colored wire for other uses on a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
