FWIW, use MIL-W-22759/16 Tefzel insulated wire throughout and if you have the wiring done, insist that the shop use it. Some of the older wire specifications used PVC insulation (such as MIL-W-5086A) which is now prohibited in Air Force (at least) aircraft due to it's propensity to generate toxic fumes in the event of overheating or burning. Tefzel insulation is far tougher at elevated temperatures than PVC and doesn't cold-flow under pressure like Teflon (mainly important if a wire is inadvertantly pulled tight across a sharp metal edge). One source of Tefzel insulated wire is ACS there are many others. Dan Schaefer LNC2 (99% wired with MIL-W-22759/16)
