Racking material for electropolishing SS 304

Actually I am using stainless steel wire to electropolish small parts of ss 304 material (2 cm x 2.5 cm) in addition to its natural bad conductivity, I have some problems with contact with bar.

I am trying to improve conductivity and contact, which material is the most adequate for this purpose on this type of bath?

Working temperature 95 C
Phosphoric acid based plus additive

Thanks

Daniel
