Default Welding & wires

Quick question.

I have two stress cracks in my t top frame right by the joints. I have having an experienced welder fix them (costing more than I want). I had some cables running through the t top frame (1 for a radio antenna, 1 for a light on top of the t top and two for a rear flood light).

Anyway the welder suggested that I get the wires out of the frame (he did not want to damage them while welding). I cut and pulled the wires out. I tied string to them so that I have a feeder back down the frame. Does anyone know of anything that i can use in place of the string, that will hold up better to the welding (or maybe there is no such thing)?

Any/all ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

A piece of mechanic's wire. The string will burn. Use the string to pull the mechanic's wire thru.

It's just solid core steel wire, like bailing wire.
