The width of the original tape is about .330". Although gaffer's tape is a very close substitute, that width is simply not available.
So..... Creative lathing ensues. Place roll of three inch gaffer's tape in the lathe and set up a new razor blade in the tool holder.... Look at that nice clean cut. It's the dark one that's barely visible. 90 rpm and the blade cut in neatly. Now I have some tape to work on Byron's /6 harness. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I had wrapped it with the wrong width and then I undid it and rewrapped it yesterday with the correct width. Also put in our new material for covering the metal tabs on the wiring harness connection to the body. Yes these do need to get listed on the website but I'm working on the car today
