I replaced my '55 Belvedere wire set with one from Andy Bernbaum a while back.
This is lacquered wire with copper core. He'll send you a lengthy piece and you
cut it up accordingly. It comes with tips and boots the part number is K-114.
This is what I have on the oldie and it runs smoothly. Another source is Pro
Antique Auto Parts (Tel 202-623-8274). They list a part no. WH-102 and describe
the set as Dupont rubber. I don't know if these are precut or not.
I, too, have had to resort to generic brands or substitutes because of lack of
correct wire sets, and if your interest is just to keep you car in decent show
condition, short or concours correct, then you might want to do that.
