KR> Instrument panel wire

Dave, generally Cat5 and automotive cable is insulated with PVC. PVC is flammable, burns readily creating copious amounts of thick, toxic smoke rendering it virtually impossible for pilots to see their flight instruments or BREATHE. I would strongly suggest you use aircraft quality wire (Tefzel)

It sounds like the diaphram is ruptured in the ASI. There are instrument shops here in the states that will rebuild that type of ASI for roughly 1/4 the price of a new one. If you can find a good instrument shop, they should be able to save you a significant amount of $$ if you need an ASI.
