Maybe an obvious thing to a lot of you boffins in here, but I've discovered a very handy resource for modeling engine electrics, air/coolant hoses and the like - Telephone wire!

-It seems to be the right thickness to look accurate and convincing.
-It can be bent and holds its position at the set angle you bend it at.
-You can get different thicknesses using it with or without the plastic covering.
-It can be painted with any usual model paint and superglue

Thought you might find this useful.
