I ran the wire for a good 10 yrs b4 I sold the car.. worked great. It was
REAL stiff... Like it took 2 pairs of pliers to bend it. Bent it in a flat
bottom U. The carb set screw did not bend it... I do not know the
source.. my Dad had it in the shop. Couple of squirts of oil and it worked
REAL smooth... I can get some samples if there is someone who can identify
the wire.
I do not know about replacing the jackets, but suppose it can also be
done...

Lee,
Is this solid wire the same as the .055" piano, or model airplane control
wire,
you would purchase at a hobby shop? How long have you been using it?
Also, when you change the wire, can the cable jacket be changed as well?
1.8 mm
ID bicycle cable jacket works great for the heater cables when mated with
0.055"
piano wire. With the nylon interior jacket things move nicely. Can I
change the
outer jacket when I change the wire?
