I realize that I have to match wire sizes, but what type of wire do I use for the hot places and the normal places....How many strand, what covering, and where do I buy it. I can't affort a new harness, and my truck has been "customized" to a small extent by the previous owner. Thanks - Scott

A lot of my husband's friends use this company, small minimum requirements and their prices are very reasonable. You can get a free catalog. We get one every year. Request it at www.waytekwire.com and you should get one within 2 weeks I think. | | |

Each strand has a tin coating. This really helps to cut down on corrosion problems. Digikey (digikey.com) has a great selection of wire and connectors. Their end users tend to be electronic types, but their stuff works just a well or better on automotive applications.
I do agree though, a purchased wiring harness will save a lot of time and grief.

This wire is has a silicone insulation covered with a braided glass cover. Fine strand coated copper and is flexible too. I have seen it in White, Black and Red. It lays nice and makes great harnesses, although working with the glass braid insulation makes your hands and fingers itch! SRML | | |

Sexy is right on, Wytek has a great catalog and selection at reasonable prices especially if you don't have the green to spring for a new harness.
