Hi Seth,<br><br>I think stainless steel wire is better than brass. It is stronger and less prone to fatigue cracks as you bend and twist it. <br><br>You can get .020" SS safety wire from any aircraft supply house like http://www.wicksaircraft.com/showPage.phtml?pagenum=110 <br><br>For about $8 you can get a 1 lbs. spool which will get you several hundred feet of wire. <br><br>Barry at BlueLine Outfitters, Inc [bluelineoutfitters@hotmail.com] will sell you smaller quantities and he also sells a lot of other hard to fine items. <br><br>Have fun<br>David Koelzer
