    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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.
 
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.
 
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 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.

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.
 
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.

Thanks Steve, but that's the only kind I CAN get here. I want stuff like the original on my bike.
