I bought some rolls of the correct material years ago , and have made
several sets over the years by using 032 stainless wire formed into a "U"
over the nose of pliers , and pushed thru redrilled (.033) holes. this
method looks very good on top , underneath you can see where I twisted and cut
off the wires. I almost ended up with a machine similar to the factory one
at a GE auction once, but the price went stupid high.
I have to do at least 2 more sets to do this winter. Not my favorite
job!
Cotrofeld's have the correct stuff in large rolls only , not cheap ,
but very nice stuff! enough to do several motors.
I have been too cheap to powder coat most of them , just a coat of
#1634 duplicolor engine paint (the 500 degree semi gloss stuff). Looks good ,
holds up good.
