Hi All I would like to rewire my Dad's old 'big copper bit' 85W

fine.

Any plumbers merchant will sell you some off the reel usually (for
immersion heater and CH applications)

Silicone or butyl? And in black?

Buy a cheap garden extension reel and cut a bit off.

What guarantee are you prepared to offer that it will be silicone
cable?

I'll guarantee no cheap garden extension reel will be silicone cable...
