Standard modern insulated multistrand copper wire....

This place will sell it to you... In any colour (which is a good idea to keep colours the same!)... Make sure you get the right size!!

Or..if you want to save a fortune, get down to your local scrappy and hack out a section from a crashed polo....or anything else..

Sorry about that.... trying to do too many things at once!

When I built the wiring loom for my kit car I used new wire from them... came to about Â£150 for the entire loom...

For the TVR I went down to my local scrappy.... tore the loom out of two mondeos...... and had enough to do 2 looms for a fiver..... Its a messy task removing all of the tape off the old loom... but worth the saving!
