Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know Tony recommends aircraft cable whenwiring, which I most likely will. Anyone use auto stranded type wire? Duckingfor cover...Sent from my iPadJack Textor________________________________________________________________________________

Jack,I did not use auto type, but...Assuming that you are not concerned about the fire resistance of theinsulation on A/C wire...and, assuming that you are not concerned that thewire you are purchasing is coming from a low bidder in China (in otherwords, no quality control)...My recommendation would be to at least use the A/C connectors, which willprovide better support of the insulation at the connection, where mostfailure is likely to occur.Happy ThanksgivingGary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----

I may be wrong here and correct me if I am, but I believe the outer insulationon auto wire is toxic if it burns? Not what you need to be breathing when tryingto find an emergency spot to put down.Scotty--------Tamworth, AustraliaBuilding a Corvair Powered Pietenpol Air Camperwww.scottyspietenpol.comTail and Ribs built...Building control system and about to start fuselage...Corvairengine at Roy's Garage waiting to be modified.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Wire
