Just make your own - here's how I did a few metres for a restore and you can't pick it from the original (well, you can because it's shiny and new  %.%)


I had a roll of this common mains earth wire kicking around:






This was the original wire unravelled so I could count the strands and check the thickness:





I clamped a PCB spacer in the vice and held a single sided blade while pulling the wire through to cut the insulation off:





Counted out and bundled together the correct number of strands, then I clamped one end of the bundle in the vice - the other end in a battery drill and VROOM VROOM for about 2 or 3 minutes:






The new compared to the original:




You can do it - don't be LAZY!!!  <.>
