Anybody replace the black spark plug wires with colored ones like blue or red? What diameter tubing did you use?

I used servo extensions for radio control: diameter 1 mm by removing the copper wire to be able to fit them together.

Pierre,

Beautiful work! I appreciate the additional detail touches on generator bracket arm and pully bolt heads. I found some filament tubing normally used for tying fishlines on Amazon and ordered both red and blue. Love the red but I'm leaning towards blue to match paint job. Hope my results are at least half as impressive as yours.

So here are my results. The material I used was sourced here (https://www.mcmaster.com/9627T11/). It's a silicone rubber tubing that's considerably more pliable than the supplied black PVC tube or even that of wiring insulation (of which I could not find blue wiring that did not have some printing on it). Now that I'm in a blue sort of mood, I'm thinking of heat staining the headers after I add the additional details inspired by Pierre's mods.
