Doing a  rebuild on an Petrof 235 and it looks like I I have a choice of 
replacing  back check wires with 2.9 mm diameters, or use the existing size 
of 2.5 mm  along with some resizing of the holes in the keys. The existing 
wires are  bent in every which way you can imagine and loose in the keys.

What I  would like to get opinions on is whether or not any of you have any  
preferences in regards to diameter of the wire. Thicker means stronger...  
not necessarily a good thing...

So whataya whataya  ??

Thanks

I'd go with the thicker wire. It will do two things. One, it will  eliminate 
the need to glue size the holes. This might not be difficult for one  key, but 
the more you have to do, the  more likely you're going to run into  a problem 
with one of them not being done right. Second, a thicker wire, in my  
opinion, gives better checking. Not only that, but it will stay where it's put. 

 
Just my 2.9 cents worth.
