1/16 plug wire material?

[moparmagiclives]

I've been using wrapping wire from radio shack for my 1/24 stuff, but what's a good source for 1/16 plug wire ?

A lot of 1:1 plug wires are 8mm, so 1/16 of 8mm = 1/2mm, or .5mm, which is about .020" or twenty / one-thousandths of an inch. Just get out the old digital calipers and start measuring wire.

It's approximately American Wire Gage #24.

unless you're going old school which would most likely be 6mm plug wires but 24gage wire should do nicely.

Great info, bad news is I guess I need to start stocking different supplys now. Thanks a bunch.
