I'm working on a '31 coupe. I've restored the generator, but I'm wondering what gauge wire should be used to connect the cut-out to the brush inside the generator, and also what color should the insulation be? I was surprised when I received my ignition wires from YNZ and found that they were a yellowish color. Should the generator wire be black or something different?

The wire that connects from the main brush in the generator to the "GEN" terminal on the cut-out is a special stranded "brush" wire, and it is 16 gauge. The wire is covered in a black woven cloth material.
