Recommendations for plug/ignition wire

[om617]

I`m sure there are many topics about it but i would like to know what you poeple recomend.

I dont have any i_phone chargers to butcher for wire,and have to buy aftermarket.

So far i only have one product i like (wich i have forgot the name on). The others

like Scale Repro Plus and Hobby Design are way to stiff.

To put it easy,is there any wire that are more soft and easy to bend?

A lot of us over here use beading wire (for necklaces) in .013"-.015" (for 1/24-1/25 scale) available from craft stores.

Craft stores here usually have a wide variety of beading wire in various colors, diameters and flexibility.

Electronics supply outlets also sell fine copper wire in similar diameters.

You check out a list of suppliers under "aftermarket" here on the forum. Several outfits sell scale ignition wire.

Of course, I'm partial to the Crazy Scale Auto Parts wire.

Thanks for the suggestions. I`m so tired of the stiff wires,not very realistic either.

I like Detail Master's distributor/ignition wire sets the best. You get everything you need and then some in one package.

Radioshack gauge wire, comes on a little role. Cost about 5 bucks for about 15 feet.

.030 gauge wrapping wire to be exact. Comes in a variety of colors. It's a little overiszed, but I feel it looks pretty good.

I don't think it is oversized, I believe it is spot on and I drill the holes with a 0,5mm drill. Works perfect!

To avoid confusion, I believe you mean 30 gage, which has a .012" OD, plus the coating which probably brings it up to about .015".

.32mm or about .0126" is correct 1/25 scale for 8mm plug wires, a very common size. Slightly larger for high-performance, slightly smaller for older factory ignitions. Pretty close anyway.

In my opinion, Pro-Tech is the best on the market! The right color, soft, yet holds it's shape. I love their products!

The stuff at radio shack is called kynar wire. It is available in a bunch of different colors.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Will try out some stuff and see what becomes favorite.
