Default Need Help Finding Wire

Hey guys I'm looking for 0.075 inch galvanized wire like in this photo.



I can bend it into this shape myself, so I just need a spool of the wire. I've tried Gregg, Fastenal, Acklands, Calgary Fasteners and a few other random wire places and nobody knows where I can get it.

This will be used to fasten a gazebo cover to a frame.

TIA!

Try a wire mesh manufacturer, they have bins full of clippings they sell as scrap.

Irving wire is one.

Sweet, I'll head over there. Looks like they have the thickness I need online.

Try a drywall supplier and ask for some pencil rod I believe it is sold in 4ft lengths.

So what happens when you press the button and turn? Or am I reading that wrong?

It releases the park brake. There is a button on the back of the lever. Must be a mid 90's Tacoma or 4Runner.

IMO all park brakes should look and operate like ejector seat handles.

It's my work truck, which is an '08 Tacoma.

I came up empty handed at Irving Wire so I'll try some of the other places you guys mentioned once rush hour is over. Thanks a lot for your help!
