0 PerchJerker Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Might try Menard, Home Depot, or a hardware store. Someone should have it on spools so you can buy it by the foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sparkyaber Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 when you find your wire just make sure that it is automotive wire- not building wire- they have different insulation characteristics, and also different strand counts. Building wire (the stuff you find at depot or menards) will have 7 strands and will be either THHN or XHHW insulation. You don't want this stuff- very ridgid and just not the right stuff for the job. Automotive wire will have many more strands and will be much easier to work with. Also the insulation is a bit different, but is similar to XHHW. (More of a rubber base).You best bet is an automotive store.I don't think I have ever seen automotive wire bigger than #10 at a building store.Good luck.

0 JohnMickish Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 You can also go to Fleet Farm and buy the Minnkota wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hoggs222 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Best Buy or Circuit City's road shop should have what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
