Locally? Not sure. I've gotten all of mine through waytekwire.com

J I'd recommend some car audio wire (the better stuff like stinger or tsunami). It's much softer and, the better the wire, the more strands given the gauge).

eBay allows you to buy it by the foot? project two is my hookup, it's easy to braid and many colors.

You could call Custom Wire Industries. They usually don't sell retail, but if you asked nice, they might have some laying around if you weren't particular about color. 262-679-9700. You could try industrial in New Berlin too, but CWI gets their wire from industrial and may be easier to deal with.

GXL/SXL is a high temp application wire. Audio wire, though more supple may not survive in high heat environments like engine compartments.
