It's like this, I am installing a Sigma Sport bicycle speedometer on my
Midget. Unfortunately, the wire that comes on it is not nearly long enough
to reach from the rear brake drum into the cockpit. I guess the Midget is
larger than a bicycle...
At any rate, I don't want to have to do this too often, so I would like to
use some wire that will withstand the rigors of being on the rear axle for a
goodly number of years. I intend to follow the brake hose from the diff to
the body and then put a grommet through into the cockpit and have a
connector just inside so that I can pull the rear axle at a later date
should it be necessary. I keep coming up with a blank on a source of wire. I
only need two conductors and the wire is quite fine, around 28 gauge or so.
I figured that TV Cable would be rugged enough, but the shield wire is some
metal that refuses to take solder. Any ideas?
