PSA - Purchasing Wire.

[tedly]

Ok so we can get wire at Ace. I pick up stuff to use on my cars

Now where can we buy a good wife? I have a friend who wants one and cant find one in his price range with all the options and low mileage he wants.

When you figure that out, let me know!

just like getting high quality auto parts...you needed to do some careful shopping about 30 years ago

hahahahahahahahah


there is so much truth in this sentence. You just can't find good ones anymore, all the best stuff was made 30 or more years ago

I was 8!!! Guess I should have planned ahead better.

HA! I was 13 thirty years ago and guess what. My woman is a 1982 model, so it isnt a problem for me! My bro though, he has no luck. He has tried the Ukrainian models and also US build models, but he is 48 and wants a 21-27 year old. I tell him the problem is his wallet isnt thick enough, and his hair is a bit thin too.

If only it were as easy as finding wire! I adore wire, and parts, its so easy to get them, even when they are rare.

Good lord the things I have removed from cars....I removed speaker wire that was spliced into the headlights on a car...they just doubled up the wire to make a gauge that was almost the same.

I would hope those reading this know the difference....if the don't...have them raise their hands so we can point and laugh, maybe flog them with a wet noodle.


Ha, after thought, the guy using house wire is the same guy using chicken wire and screen to patch the holes in his car...kinda like the guy who "restored"my Fury lol!

Well hell! Fuggitall! I used house wire.. 3strand in the white sheath.. Black/white/unsheathed on my winch on the boom for years... Doesn't bend for crap but I could bend hooks on it.. Run and guide whatever was being picked up then yank the wires free..
Hokey but works! ....

Dad had his Case crawler rewired from 2 batteries to one and charging... Guy used house wire... Worked perfectly. Untill my millwright brother "did it right" now it don't work! ... Ain't the wire.. It's the meekannik!
