Repco, supercheap et al, or else buy a complete loom from a wrecked car and strip it - nothing wrong with it and much cheaper than buying new wire.

Get yourself a meaty utilux crimp tool while you are there - not a cheapo pressed steel one. Doing your own wiring is fine - most of your problems will come from shitty half-crimped joints.

Cheers.....but not quite what I am after. Years ago you could go to the likes of Civic Auto electrical and get all the wire in solid colours and tracer colours and the crimp/solder connections.
