Oldcarfan27 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Yes, or solder, easy to bend and hold the shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 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.
