Hi mate,

I think i am right when i read about the braid, if so, this might help.

Tubular, tinned copper braid is all over ebay, you just need to use the right search terms (and avoid the wrong ones!).

Copper braid got me 3870 listings! Too many. I saw most were bracelets and 1 cent coins.

But then: copper braid -cent -wrist -bracelet got me 450 listings.
(note the minus or - in front of a word deletes it from a search which is very handy in removing the unwanted things once you see them clogging up a search)

Ive also used tinned braid, earth strap, copper strap other similar words which all yield different (or the same!) results.

Hopefully the above is of some help, if not, sorry for clogging up the thread and please keep up the good work! For someone like me who would likely never take on a project like this, i really enjoy reading about yours!

Cheers,
Ian.
