Am I right in thinking that your HT lead has to have multi strand copper inside as oppose to a solid copper core? The reason i ask is normally when I need any just go to the local bike shop get a couple of meters,job done and its always been the multi strand stuff.But I quite fancy some of this stuff ht (pretty colours :roll: ) but it looks to be solid core copper,is it OK to use or not bother.He also does this which looks from the photo to be multi strand I was thinking the strands have probably more give/movement as oppose to a solid piece of wire with the motion of the scooter :?: or am I way off.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

id go with the multi strand but only because it will be far easier to screw the ht cap on

Cheers Ric,just had a reply off the bloke on ebay they're all multi strand copper ,its just the picture looks like solid copper.Think I may go for the gloss, as the amount of shite & oil blowing around under the panels the cotton braid stuff would soon get dirty,least with the gloss you can wipe it clean.Thanks for the reply :D
