If you have a piece of the existing wire, you could measure its diameter using a micrometer and then ensure that what you buy is the same diameter. If not it will be either too hot or too cold. </div><div><br></div><div>Failing that you could try Hobby Tools Australia in Braeside – 9587 7734</div><div><div style="orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto;
