Anyone know where I can buy a small spool of 40 swg copper wire for
rewinding a magnet?
4oz. will be more than enough.
I've looked at Maplins, but they don't go down that far.
I found some at   http://www.wires.co.uk/acatalog/ax_ec_wire.html
but a 500g spool at £24 before postage is a last resort.
Thanks in advance.
 Regards,
    Dave Carter

We've probably got that size at the factory, we keep 3mm down to 0.10mm in Grade
2 coated copper. I'll check later and see what we have.

We have 0.08mm, 0.10mm and 0.125mm, all coated.

40G is 0.125 according to our tables.
