wire for o-rings, where to get it?

[ben99]

I'm doing o-rings in my head, but I was only given enough wire to do 4 cylinders. i need .41 wire, can i go somewhere and buy this or do i have to order it special from somewere? I didn't know if a hardware store or some place like that would have it. Thanks.

Snedge, on that link you posted just curious why you wouldnt use the wire listed right under the one that is selected? Just wondering because it has a much higher temperature rating.

Yeah it was you! haha, no big deal, just need to find some today so i can get it out of the garage tomorrow. I had enough for 4 cylinders :doh:

The only thing close I can find is .40 and .45 welding wire. Will these work?

I like to use the inconel because it does not deform ( flatten out), and it is very easy to work with. I have never tried the other stuff

Very sorry.

 

[ben99]
