Ya know, I really don't know. I'd try to get some wire that is aboslutely as small as possible (due to the tight-fit of the Zaps' components and parts). You might try visiting your local RS store and see what the smallest wire that they have available (I'm thinking maybe the old "wire-wraping" wire, but even that might be too big I think).

Its terrible having this ncie new iron and no butane to fuel it with... Hopefully soldering that wire will make the car work correctly again. havent tested it in quite a while.

Just a thought, maybr you should exchange the Butane iron for an electric one. Although not portable, an electric one is easier as ya don't have to keep refilling it.
Also, just a tip, practice a bit on something discardable first to get the hang of it. A small trashed/defective PC board (or computer PC board) of any kind makes for a good practice expirement -
P.S. RS may also have a short book on soldering, I'd highly recommend it if they do... all males of the species should learn how to solder, 'bout the handiest thing since sliced bread LOL! -
