Body cord legality...."A" line

[fencerbill]

Clarify, please....that was likely before my time....be nice to not repeat mistakes (I can invent my own!)

Leon Paul wire is very flexible because it has a high number count of very fine wires. But it also breaks sooner than other kinds of wire.

Ahhh...I see....thinner wire=less durability. Base don your experience, how's the wire I sent?

From my experience all of my Uhlmann body cords had wire breaks several times and my multi-year-old inherited LP body cord still has not.

The Uhlmann and chinese cord wires are much more brittle, which leads to them breaking and needing repair more often in my experience.

So what wire does everyone recommend using to replace dead a broke body cord wires....

You can purchase the wire directly from Leon Paul at: http://www.leonpaul.com/acatalog/Sho..._Sabre_42.html

(I don't have any of that wire in stock at the moment.)

I also have some of the wire the Sam had made up. Haven't made up any bodycords with them yet, but Sam's already tested it out.

Aaaaaaand....when i get the next run I'll hold some aside for sale. My overall order actually got shorted by about 230 feet, so I have to take that out of my own portion to make up for it....every piece I have is going into body cords. (already cut to length.....A clips soldered on the foil ones...got the pins...should get the plastic bodies next week and the screws after that....then it's assembly time!)

I expect it to be good. I consider my money well spent.
