Curtain wire can be used as a liner the plastic coating had to be removed to fit into the torch on my cebora 130. And its cheap. 
errrmmmmmm, without looking, I bet that is larger diameter so it may be more difficult to push trhough the hose.
Threaded through the hose with no problems, the diameter is the same as the plastic liner it replaced.

How do you get the curtain wire to terminate in the gun?
The original appears to be stuck in. Ant pics?

Works well and is cheap
Same here, although i'd leave this mod until last. Changing the liner to a good quality steel one, and bracing the feed rollers made far more of
a difference, you may find you're happy with it with just those two changes.
I only changed the motor power supply because I happened to have the bits kicking about, and because I can't leave well alone. It does change
the 'feel' of the welder, it doesn't labour for a second as you strike up, and the wire feed stops much faster when you let go of
the trigger. It's also more consistent, I used to be able to hear the wire feed speed up and slow down before. All in, I now get better looking
welds from it.

Might try this with mine.
Yup, I made one of these for mine and can confirm that it helps a great deal. The plastic supports for the rollers are just too bendy, this brace
holds them steady.

I've now fitted my new steel liner and made up a bracket to hold the drive wheels in place, and it has made the world of difference to the
welder! It now works much more smoothly and I can get into tighter spaces without worrying about things too much. Well worth the £17.
