Strong thin craft wire used for pulling wires through silicone tube.

• Manufacturer: Various
• Product ID: Various

Dragging silicone wires through silicone tubes, as we do with the Spitfire MkIX throttle quadrant, is not easy as the friction causes the wire to stick. Craft wire like this is a good solution. A length of at least 60cm is needed. Aluminium has good strength for this.

PH1 Phillips head screwdriver bit

• Manufacturers: Various
• Product ID: Various

This is the perfect sized bit for M4 phillips head screws which are used so much in AuthentiKit designs. It is much easier to assemble things with the right bit as you can actually hold the screw with it. It is also easier to use this bit with the 3d printed mini screwdriver handle (in the downloads) than a full size screwdriver

It doesn’t have to be coloured red/blue as long as the North and South pole are clearly marked.
