[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8625301, member: 614752"] The problem is you will NOT have the same wind width or gauge if you have the same impedance coil. It's impossible. I repeat, aluminum should gain all things equal. Keep it in mind if you're building for numbers. As you say, spider separating would be disaster for embedded tinsels, though I don't think size would help there too much on a stitched tinsel. So you know, size isn't everything. I used to get some really small looking tinsels from Shocker Mike and he sold them to guys running crazy power and nobody ever smoked one. Sadly the company that made them has vanished and I don't know where to get comparable anymore, but the point being you don't need those thick flat ones to hang, just well made ones! And in TC's defense the power levels at which those failed were well above rated power, though it's still a shame since for only a few dollars more in cost of parts that didn't have to be the weak link. I would NOT trust that. I always put a pea sized drop of CA glue on the edge of the bolt to the frame to keep it from backing out. It is easily broken with a screwdriver (used as a chisel) when you need to get the bolt off and a far more secure way to keep those bolts in place. I've seen a number of subs come from the factory with actual glue on the edge of the bolt, never found blue locktite in the threads. [/QUOTE]
