Hi,

What is the specs and brand of the wires provided with the Bottlehead Crack? It is a very nice size and easy to work with.

Is there any reason why we don't use the same wire on all the other kit?

Thanks.

The PVC jacketed wire is Carol 20 AWG solid core hookup wire. 

For the higher end kits, we use Teflon jacketed wire that won't discolor or melt from excessive heating.  If a kit has a fair amount of wiring in a tight space, we may also opt to use this instead to avoid our builders having lots of burnt wires.
