High-grade wire source?

[spudzone]

Can anyone suggest a source for a spool or at least several feet of oem-quality ground wire similar to what's currently used in better saws? Aftermarket wiring seems stiffer and far more fragile from the start. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks

Search for primary wire with txl or gxl rated insulation. This is premium wiring used by auto and equipment OEM’s and is what your looking for. I linked some 18 gauge product which should work on anything you come across. I think a lot of ope uses 20 or even 22 gauge.

Thanks. That's the info I'm looking for.

Auto salvage yard, cut out a section of engine harness if you just need a few feet of short pieces? Lot of it is 18-20 gauge though.

Polar Wire in Anchorage sells some arctic grade wire that is really nice stuff. It's super flexible, even in the cold.

I think it's called ultraflex or maybe it's arcticflex.

Marine grade wire....is made of many very fine strands each of which is tinned with solder.....it is very soft and flexable and corrosion resistant.....not to be confused with regular auto grade wire. Any good marine supply store will carry it......Anchor brand is most common.
