Pic 01 shows the jig, all you need are the three holes that have the pins in them and one saw kerf with a handsaw. Take a piece of 3/4" hardwood and cut it so it's 1" wide. You can scew it to a workbench or clamp it in a vice which is what I do. The pins are pieces if 1/4" steel rod 1" long. The holes are two in a straight line and the end one at a 45 degree angle up. The holes have 1/16" between the edges so if you do the math, 5/16" between centers when you mark out the holes.Make the holes 1/2" deep. Next to the holes make a saw kerf that your wire will fit into so you can make the initial 90 degree bend nice and neat. Lay the wire the full width of the wood so you'll have an inch of wire before the bend. Now just follow the pictures, in the last picture I tighten up the loop by squeezing the ends together with a pair of pliers. ...mrpogie

Amazon. 10 bucks shipped to you. I'm trying to learn this jig as I sit here sipping coffee, lol.

I don't fully understand the question. If you are asking where to buy wire to thru-wire plugs then I have an answer. I have always (10+ years) used stainless welding rod in 306 hardness. It is a little hard to bend so I bought a box of it (about 25#) and had it heat treated) Now it bends easy without loosing any of it tensile strength or stainless properties.

The other guys may have other ways of doing it.
