You could measure the diameter of wire and buy some half the gauge, and rewind it, counting the winds may be necessary, but if you just fill the same area with the thinner wire, it shouldn't be far off. http://www.maplin.co.uk/free_uk_delivery/Enamelled_Copper_Wire_44/Enamelled_Copper_Wire_44.htm It will still cog, but cut-in should be a lot less, not tried it myself yet though.
