We have just the product you are after. Our powerbraid and classicbraid. Two different looks to choose from. That's the two looms shown in my sig.

Currently primarily only available online from the likes of summit or jegs. However we are working with various parts stores to have it stocked on the shelves. Pep boys speed shops will be the first to have it stocked.

Got any pics of how you cleanly attach branches off the harness with this stuff? I would think heat shrink would work, but would be difficult to use.

I'll see if I can round up some pictures. You have a couple different options for how to branch off. In our full kits we include some 'stretch and seal' tape and some electrical tape as that tends to be the most common option. Some people use the plastic T's that you find with the convoluted kits. I prefer the first method.

I can vouch for www.wirecare.com. F6 is the split loom. I think they make it for either Summit or Jegs, their house brand.

We use ONLY the woven split on our harnesses. Once you install a harness w/ it, vs the hard plastic stuff, you'll be sold on it.
A bit of planning when making the harness up, so the shrink sleeve gets put on first makes a NICE harness. We use shrink sleeve w/ the glue in it, so it grips and stays where we put it.

Our harnesses are not cheap!
