Where to buy lockwire, like local shop

Featured Replies

Anyone know where would sell lockwire, but a local shop, not mail order? Doubt halfords/b&q or anything like that will, but trying to think of a use thats not car related etc?

Any ideas?

In coventry if that helps!

Try and find an engineer @ Coventry airport. Lock wire is used on all componets on aircraft CAA requirement, the local Snap-on van man might have it?

Use a bit of domestic earth wire, down the electrical aisle of most diy places.

Copper would look odd

Why not use stainless steel cable ties, which are supplied with exhaust wrap? Halfords sell them.
