WTB: 2mm Stainless Steel Wire for Drive

[HOTWATER]

When you hear from Jeff, just ask him if he could send you a peice of 3/32 (if he has some in stock) with the .078 wire.

Alright, will do! Thanks :)

[HOTWATER]

You bet bro......

[Jeff Wohlt]

2mm is basically 078... Just a hair larger than 078. No difference if you use a Octura coupler for 078 or one of my set screw versions.

My Ace hardware carries it. You want Piano wire.

So then I shouldn't get the stuff from McMastercarr? My LHS told me they have piano wire, so I might as well get that.

There will be a slight bend in the shaft, what would you recommend?

[j.m.]

The stuff from Jeff Wohlt. He can get you perfectly straight pieces that won't vibrate like the bent stuff from your LHS.

[domp444]

He just told me to get Piano wire from Ace, haha.

[j.m.]

Well. I guess they have straight stuff. Try to find the straightest piece they have, small bends really do make a difference.

And a slight bend in the wire is better than a perfectly straight piece.

Haha! I sure hope they do.

And that's good news, cause there will be a bend :)

[Jeff Wohlt]

Bends are find as long as it is not tight.

I say ace or your LHS because for one piece it is cheaper. I roll them on the counter of floor to see if they are straight.

Yes, I have a secret place to get this stuff.

[domp444]

Alright, cool.

To get to my LHS, I have to take a toll bridge, so it comes out to $11 back and forth to get a piece of wire. That's why I'd rather order it online and wait for it

You wouldn't be able to send me some wire from that secret place, Jeff? Haha.

[Jeff Wohlt]

How much do you want?

[domp444]

I need 2 wires, but I'll take 4 just for safety. Around 12" long. Lemme know what you can do :)
