Who has re-covered their harness in TechFlex F6? I wasn't sure where to post this for the best coverage so I posted it here since I'm doing it for appearance sake. I'm going to be re-covering my entire harness in TechFlex F6 since my engine is out and I'm painting the bay. Can anyone that has done this share any estimates on how much of each size they used? I busted out and cloth tape and tried measuring but it was hard to tell what sizes I use could in what spot without having any in hand. The sizes that look like they'll be the most useful are 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, and a very small amount of 1". I can order on ebay in 4', 10', and 25' increments. I'm just looking to get into the ballpark of what I need so as not to end up with too much left over. Can anyone throw up some numbers?

Harness in hand?
Its what I used....ordered directly from cableties though. Wish I rememberd the footage, but was easier to measure with harness in hand. I'd start with longer lengths 20'(?) for smaller dia and 10' on larger - 3/4+.

Did you use all those sizes or did you just use a few like 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and so on? Yes my harness has been pulled from the engine bay but it's still covered in the crappy corrugated plastic loom. I started stripping it to measure but was having hard time deciding what size i'd use on what wires without having any of the f6 in hand.

I kinda cleaned up my harness by disposing of all the old tape and wire loom and then tightly wrapping the wires up with new 3M electrical tape...
While I had all the loom off I peeled back the wires with the unused emissions connectors and tucked them back under the PCM to clean it up further
I'll try to get some pics of it tomorrow

Again, I did this years ago, so forgive the lapse in memory. Cant recall using 3/4, but probably ordered some just to have....its cheap.

Most of it was the smaller sizes (1/8 and 1/4, some 1/2) IIRC. With the harness accessable, its a lot easier to measure diameters with a simple tape measure.
