What wire guage to use for rewire?
#5

Thanks for the input guys. Always great stuff.

I hadn't heard the heat shrink thing before. Neat to know. That may work for me as there are only some wires that are 'crunchy' most of them are in good shape, as long as I don't have to move them too much.

Obviously using the same guage as what is there is best. I was probing to see if you guys knew what guage the majority of the wiring was before I went on the hunt for wire.

Like I said I have access to many colors of great teflon coated 600V rated wire in just about any guage from 30 up to 10ga. But once I get some I can't take it back! So, I was looking for the dig on what ga. I should be going after. (20ga. for 9-12 cents per foot isn't bad in my book)

I've scavenged bunches of wire before from old multi-line phone cables, computer power supplies (the dead ones) and other places. Sometimes though, like with this project, a guy wants to do a good job and not have 6 different types and guages of wire floating around under the chassis. In 20+ years when I have some kind of an issue to fix I don't want to be scratching my head thinking "Now why the H#!! did I do that?"
