This is the black tape that is used to bundle the wires together. It looks to be a cloth backed tape. I know I could use anything from regular electrical tape to heat shrink tubing, but am looking to replicate the original tape. Has anyone found a suitable and accurate replacement for the factory tape?
Best thing I have come up with so far would be a matte black "gaffers" tape (not to be confused with generic "duct" tape). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_tape |

If it's not a CW thing then Home Depot is your store. I bought:
100 ASTM Friction Tape 19mm x.38mm x 18m Catalog No. 1002 Made by the Plymouth Rubber Company, Inc. Canton, MA 02021 Listed as "General purpose mechanical tape. Use for protecting splices and on sports equipment." SKU 95298 01002 Pretty much spot-on cloth tape. Judging from the markup it looks like Eastwood purchases from Home Depot too!
