Steve, when Patman was out here last year doing a class in the shop, we had picked up some 3/16 rod for making bondo bucks at a a local place called Hilltop Welding. Best prices in town but no phone, an Amish business.. what we picked up was either HRPO or CR because it’s clean without scale. This came in about 20’ lengths and we did have it cut in half for the trip home. I don’t do much wiring but that seemed to work well for those two jobs (Biederman hood sides and AC condenser mount) and the 10’ pieces seem to be long enough for anything I’m gonna do. I think many of the car wiring done is 1/8 but for the Divco I would think it would be better suited to 3/16 wire, given the size of the vehicle. My Biederman thread has a pic of the Pullmax dies I made to joggle the edge for an outward bead. In the middle of something right now, but I can add the wiring part of that thread here late if you want it grouped together.
