    Question Source for fuel system and retracts safety wire

    I normally use a 22 gage stainless steel annealed wire for my air retracts and fuel lines.
    I used to get it at Home Hardware but they no longer carry it.
    I tried an internet search but no luck for Canada.

    What do you guys use and is there a Canadian source?

    Thanks

    Peter... try Aircraft Spruce. I picked up this 1lb roll of 0.020" SS safety wire about 3 years ago for $11.50 at Aircraft Spruce in Brantford. I probably still have 1/2 container left. Awesome stuff!!

    Bought two diameters from Aircraft Spruce. I like the 0.025 size. Thanks!
