Honda color coded wires?

I measured Honda cable and its around 2.3 to 2.4 mm overall dia with 30 bare copper strands of 0.2mm wire which equates to about 1mm² conductor size
However, the thin-wall cables both companies sell at 1mm² conductor size is only around 2mm but their 1.5mm² cable has 0.3mm strands but the correct overall OD for Honda's generally (i.e coil wires, indicators etc)
Has anyone used their cables and which version did you choose .. I guess for original look 1.5 mm² will be the best and higher current rating but probably a bit stiffer than the original Sumitomo stuff.

Ash the 12v planet link i gave gives the wire spec as No./size of conductors: 32/0.20mm so should be good for you.

cheers ..its a bit down on OD though 2.0mm as opposed to 2.4 mm on Honda stuff. Just wondered if people opt for the 1.5 mm² stuff as it's the correct OD

Most of the gauges/consoles that I have measured have 12mm lamp holder sockets. If there are other gauges that have 14mm sockets, please let me know.

For me it would depend purely on the load it was going to carry.

Just measured an indicator wire and just slightly above 2 mm so I will go with the 1.0mm² thin wall
