I'm trying to find a place to purchase the silicone sleeving to make some fuse links out of.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'd buy the kits from B&C but I need some 26GA for the shunt.  



Thanks

   I have a couple thousand feet of 24AWG which would

   pair up nicely with 20AWG leadwires for your shunt.

   Shoot me a mailing address directly.



   It's hard to find short pieces of the silicone over

   fiberglass.

   I used to buy it in 500' spools. I'm sure B&C does too.

   But short chunks in the marketplace are rare.



   The kits from B&C are probably a pretty good deal.

Bob,

I really appreciate the offer, but I think I'll just buy some from B&C.  The reason I was looking for the 26ga is the wires that came with the Dynon harness  for the shunt are 22 ga.  I think it might be easier to replace the ones in the harness with 20ga then use the 24ga  fuseable links from B&C.



They say I can also put a 1A inline fuse, but I can't seem to find any of them made with anything but PVC coated wire, and that doesn't seem to be a very good idea.



Thanks again

  Not a big deal. There are tens of thousands of airplanes

  flying with nylon over PVC wire in them . . . a few thousand

  more with cotton over rubber . . . they're not falling out

  of the air trailing smoke nor gassing their occupants with

  the byproducts of inflight fires.



  The short pieces of PVC on the ends of the fuse holders

  represents no significant risk.



  I'd go with the fuses. Lap slice them onto the end of

  your harness wires like . . .

I have some pieces of 26ga aircraft wire if you want them.  Let me know 

what you need and your address and I will stick it into an envelope.

Dick,

I appreciate the offer.  I've already got the fuse holders and that's the first thing on the plan for the weekend.



Thanks to all who have gone before me, and are willing to teach. I'm hoping someday to be able to "pay it forward".
