Source for nice clean points wire
« on: April 07, 2020, 09:47:29 AM »
Anyone know where to get a new points wire? I'm able to find replacements from china available on ebay, but only for smaller twins. This is for a 400F but I think most of the small 4's have the same routing and therefore the same length wire needed.

I'm restoring and my wire is not very nice anymore (already tried to clean it).

I have found this product on another post which I can do, just not as easy as ordering a ready made set of wires if they exist.
