Any good places to buy wire? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 247 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 247 | You might try the local NAPA or Carquest store. That is where I get most of my wire and wiring supplies. They might have charts showing the different gauges of wire and applications.

Here's an example; http://www.rbeelectronics.com/wtable.htmThe IIRC third chart down "WIRE GAUGE SELECTION TABLE" will tell you what wire size you need for max amps, and distance. Larry

Once you decide what gauge wire and color to use, you need to think about types of insulatiion. They ain't all the same. I use a cross-link polyethylene called 'SXL'. It withstands temps up to 257 degs F and is resistance to moisture and most solvents/oils found around cars. I think...this is the type of wire used in most commercial wiring kits. I get mine from "Del City", but I believe you can find locally at a trailer or trailer supply store.
