Use the .038'' 7x19 . 1/16 sounds out of scale for the Terex. It probably had 1/2 or 5/8'' originally. I have some and it's very flexible. Check McMaster Carr $1.69/ft.

Hi Steve

Did you try sailing boat shops , i was lucky there.
They use all sort of sizes , and small ones too for on those small 1 person sail boats.
Over here they even sell 1 mm ( i think thats something like 5/128 ) stainless steel.
And from there the sizes go up.
And it's very flexible as well because it has many small wires.
Give google a try for your area

Pugs just sent me this outfit.http://www.savacable.com/pages/prod_01_00.html
I'm waiting for a call back. I see a 3/64'' 7x49 That would be really flexible.
