WHAT GAUGE WIRE???

Post by riddley57 »

Help! I'm fixing some issues with the dashboard gauges on my 78 spider. This fine example of Italian engineering has wiring and parts from both 78 and 79. On my amazing journey behind the dash, I found some cooked wires I want to replace. One is pink, the other blue and white. Any information out there as to what gauge replacement wire I can use? Will I find different sizes as I go along? Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It would help if you tell us what the wire is used for, like it goes from here to here. The pink wire on the ignition switch is a AWG 12 or 2.5 metric.

The blue/white wire that goes to the indicator (warning) lights on the panel ia a AWG 18 0.8 metric.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm going back into the dash this afternoon and will try to track them down.
