I think I may have saved at least most of them but in a full body restore, I would prefer new. I am talking about the pieces of thin black flat tubing that goes on the metal tabs that hold the wiring harness and other delicate things to the body. The metal tabs are about a centimeter wide and curl over the wiring as it transits the body. They didn't want a short circuit so they installed this plastic tubing on the straps to stop chafing. I suppose it is made in rolls. Is there either a vendor or part number?
I hope you can help, as so often has been the case. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

PVC tubing is too hard for this use. Find some new heat shrink, its wall thickens when you heat it up. Use a hot air gun to heat the old ones up.
