For the tiedowns, use what looks best. I know that's not very specific, but your eye is your best gague here. For the lettering, look at Archer Fine Transfers. These guys have lettering for just about everything. I'm working on a 113 now, I can use the tracks.

as far as wire goes - I'd check out sabots motor pool gallery for size comparison.
Then I'd head to the hobby store or work bench and try and match the size. I rarely measure specifically what the size is on wire. I go by look and comparison to the surrounding detail.
