[Boatanchors] Milliammeter shunt resistance wire sources?

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

Greg,

As detailed in the other post, soldering used (heated) wire is a problem. 
Consider just using some crimp on terminal lugs. A massive cold solder joint 
that just sort of "pots" the splice and just forms a mechanical joint can 
also be used.

You might try a length of light bulb filament wire. You are not heating it 
to light hot so it will last as a resistor in free air.

It may be time to wire up a balanced resistive bridge on the bench to help 
you find the resistance of the shunt and thus trim it to value.
