I am looking for American size 0.93inch / 2.3mm which I believe is 13swg for a P47. The nearest I can get to the size is 12swg. If possible I would like to get the American size as 12swg is a little to tight for the push rod tubes. The wire needs to 48" long. I have tried soldering M3 ends to the American wire but are unable to get the solder to take to the wire even using flux and cleaning with emery cloth.

Hi John,
I used 48" 4-40 steel push rods on my 109 with M3 threaded ends brazed on both ends.
Du-Bro in the US do them but i think my ones were Great Planes.
