Hi all,

I'm trying to find wire in the UK and nowhere bloody does what I need! Of the 5 shops I've tried, nobody knows what "18 or 22 Gauge" wire is :banghead:

So please - is it called anything else? Can I use speaker wire that I have found on Ebay (eBay Link)? Does anyone know where to get this in the UK? (tried B&Q and local Electrical shops).

Really need this for the weekend if poss!!!

Thanks, Paul.

Try grabbing some of those wires that are used to wire doorbell.  Tons use them here.  Or do you have a computer, steal the cat 5 cable from it. 

If I can get ide cable wires to work perfectly, I am pretty sure that anything bigger than that will work just as well.

Yes, those speaker wires will work just fine, but I am not sure how much I like the color.  :D
