Oldcarfan27 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Might be easier to use the right diameter wire, with or without insulation. Easier to find and keeps it's shape after it's bent.
Bainford Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Look for insulated wire with the right size, sheen and texture. I recommend wire with a solid, single-strand wire (as opposed to multi strand wire). It holds its shape better when bent to shape. Also, by baring a short length of the copper wire on the end, and drilling a correspondingly sized hole at the attachment point, it is easy to install and fix in place with a little CA.
dog1 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Posted April 11, 2021 your right , i did purchase some 1mm wired lines in town around the electric hi fi market and they react much better , i rip out just a little both ends to get the valve nipple in .
