Figured I would ask here 1st, sense most have to rework there wire harness,s for conversions ect.

Looking for some high quality wire harness protection.
Some call it convolated tubing, I am sure there are other names as well. Any Idea who has a selection of high quality stuff, with options for the larger size,s. Local auto parts stores only carry the small size 1/2 or so. Which I have found not to to hold up to well.

Also would like to find the wrapping tape which dose not unwrap after time like normal black electrical tape will do.

 

We carry it where I work, but we're not a retail outlet -- we're an industrial maintenance supply house with route salesmen. If you can't find it anywhere else though, I can probably buy it myself and ship some to you. We have sizes up to 1 inch in 50ft. or 100ft. bundles, black only of course (large maintenance shops don't care about ricing out their equipment)

 

Thanks Brains
Sounds good, Do you have a link for related info?
What about the tape any word on that as well. Looking for some of the black self fusion type.

 

Nope, no link for info, and I don't think we carry the tape.

Have you checked with our wiring harness sponsors (Speartech, American AutoWire, etc.)? I'm sure they have plenty of this stuff too, and they'd be a lot easier to order from. Likely cheaper too, our prices are kinda high.

 

Thnks I give them a shot.

 

the Doc just bought 50ft and only needed 4ft. If you shoot him a pm im sure he will sell it by the ft. I think he bought 2in you can find him in the members list.

 

Pep Boys, & other of the larger auto parts stores, have the slit wire loom material, and in a couple different colors. Gar

 

just go to the junk yard.

 

Home depot

 

NAPA has just about every size and connector for the split loom covers

 

The last time I went to the yard for more they wanted to charge me for it so now I need to find somewhere else to get it.

 

Thanks everyone found a location for some great stuff.
Found some that will with stand temps of up to 300 def F. They also have Tee,s couplings, clamps ect.
Here is a small sample of what they stock

Sizes from 1/8 - 2'' IE corrugated loom.

 

shrink wrap > convoluted tubing.

more weatherproof, compact, etc.. 3M sells it in 100ft rolls, the harnesses look super clean when shrinkwrapped.

 

If you shrinkwarp doesn't make the the harness hard and not flexable?

 

Keep in mind there are a couple of grades of split loom. There's the cheap stuff that Harbor Freight sells (low temp non UV protected) and there's the automotive grade stuff.

I got mine at McMaster-Carr (online order, http://www.mcmaster.com ). The nylon is the higher temp stuff. The cheap stuff will turn white and get crumbly pretty darn quick.

 

Very good point, this is the reason I stay clear from the cheap stuff. Would go with the higher quality material.

 

you got to take car of those guys. you know bring them donuts in the morning.

 

I made a good discovery yesterday. I got 100' of 1/2" and 3/8" split wire loom for $17 and $14 for 100 feet of Each size FROM FASTENAL. They had to order it from the Hub so I got hit with shipping but it was $44 for 100 feet of each size. Got a 50 pack of the Pico harness clips for $22 on Amazon.

Just thought I'd pass the info on.....

 

I think if you're going to resurrect 8 year old threads with your new information, might want to include it...

 

I usuall order braided split covering from McMaster-Carr. They have many type from plastic to metal to heat proof.
