woven cloth wiring cover.

[Guest]

Anyone know where I can get the cloth cover that goes over some parts of my wiring harness? Or at least something similar?

Um, I assume you're referring to the heat resistant sleeving over some parts of the wiring? Ebay gives you quite a few results if you search for "high temperature wire sleeve", for example (it's not cloth IIRC).

If you leave out the high temp, you get all sorts of sleeving.

Personally, I like spiral wire wrap/sleeve, which can be wound around existing looms. I'll update one of my threads later on with a picture where I have used this.

From a UK supplier, so postage may kill the deal.

Useful where wiring comes in direct contact with the engine, eg oil pressure switch.

Any decent electrical suppliers ( Especially the ones that sell replacement cooker/grill elements ) should stock the stuff you are looking for it's used quite a bit in electrical cookers.

Suzuki used non adhesive harness wrap tape. Elliott Tape makes various grades of this material. Some high temp and some regular.

Here is some cloth type...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elliott-ET93...9UWCSC&vxp=mtr

And high temp type...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Hi-Tem...3D111143615559

I have only ever used vinyl electrical tape to partially re-wrap or even totally rebuild a harness.

Never had a heat problem with it....perhaps because I tied the harness away from most heat sources, but I don't recall doing that.

Electrical tape make the harness a sticky mess if you have to ever make a repair. That's why the OEM's use non adhesive tape instead.

I bought a roll of this. Not exactly the original, but nice. Exactly matches my BMW car.

I found a couple of places to order from cheap. A few dollars for 3 feet of sleeving however, U.S. companies seem to want $25.00 USD to ship to Canada. It actually costs about $5.00 for shipping. They just pocket the other $20.00. Do they not want Canadian business? That's one of the reasons business with China is flourishing.

My guess is they want to be compensated for filling out the customs declaration. It is somewhat time consuming. Works both ways though, I bought some parts from Canada, parts were $30US, so was shipping. It was a toss up buying new from Partzilla but they were not in stock.

Paul, i have no idea on their pricing but they do offer several types of loom.
Don't know if Canada Post will be any cheaper.

Maybe so, but I still say a reputable retailer wouldn't offer a cheap product then try to make it up with shipping. Canada or the U.S.

Thanks Steve, but I don't need 100' and that's all they offer.

How much do you actually need? If you're after the material I referenced in post #3, I have several feet of it here, and would be happy to forward some.
