I was wondering if anyone knew a source for original pattern asphalt
impregnated cloth covered wire such as would have been seen on a Model
T. I'd like to find such wire in 14 gauge with two conductors.

I'm aware of Lee W Pederson's offerings but would like to find even
more period correct wire or at least two conductor wire like his. The
last roll I saw of the asphalt impregnated cloth covered wire had a
1957 date on it.

Thanks! Dave

I have seen such wire at Carlisle etc. but I don't recall the vendor's
name, I don't own any cars old enough for me to really pay attention to
the stuff (and I'm not enough of a purist not to just use plastic coated
wire for any rewiring that needs to be done.)

good luck,

nate
