No. Stranded copper wiring is used for this type of wiring for flexibility, but the copper becomes less ductile after repeated flexing and will break. This takes several thousand flexings though! Stuart -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Brent Weide Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2016 3:41 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Vanagon door wiring Folks: Is there such a thing as a type of wiring that will not fail (will remain ductile) over time as the wire is repeatedly bent? I'd like to replace the sections of wire in the door wiring harnesses where they route through the door hinge area and would like to do so with wire that'll last longer than the van. (no comments about my van only lasting a few more days please). Thanks, Brent -- Brent Weide Portland, Oregon www.weidefamily.net/vanagon/ |
