Thanks,

I use the cross linked wire on all car projects now....isnt worth the risk of melting a jacket. The SXL stuff is good to 125C which is over 250F.....and an engine compartment can get to 250F easily.

Del City is convenient since Tucson (and Kingman) arent a mecca of uncommon components.

The only minus for cross link jackets are that your strippers need to be sharp.....it is a hard pull if the jacket isnt cut clear thru.
