Think bailing wire.
I used to carry a 1lb roll of .032 safety wire but that ran out, I
found a 100 yds of wire in a plastic-cardboard container at Home
Depot that works just fine. It's not as big as the .032 I used to use
but works just fine (I used to for a temp 'fix' on a broken
alternator bracket on a 1.9 VW waterboxer in Weed, CA).
