Old cat5 computer network cable has several twisted pairs of good quality 24g stranded wire inside. The cable from your modem to your computer. Bully your local computer person, tons of it gets disposed of regularly.

Old Cat5.  That's what I'm using.  Not saying it's right, it's just what I use.  ;)

with only tens of milliamps going through the wire, gauge isn't so important, just as long as you can strip and solder it, it's good enough. 

If 43 gauge is big enough for the juice in the mag-pickup, anything bigger can take that same juice to the pots & jack.

Canada is metric. The answer would be converted to 86.
