Full Version: Wire Harness Sleeve

I'm refurbishing my main wire harness and looking for suggestions for sourcing sleeve material to replace my brittle and oversprayed stuff. I know I can get PVC sleeve from McMaster-Carr as described in this old thread. But this doesn't quite get me there.

There are two sections of sleeve before and after where the two headlight circuits branch that are slit and taped sleeves. I'm thinking just buy some oversized PVC sleeve for that and slit it myself unless someone has a better idea.

On the rest, the small diameter sleeve appears to be heat shrink and maybe all of it is. Regardless, you can't get a tight factory fit with plain PVC sleeve without removing all, or most, of the terminals. I'd like to avoid that. So wondering what heat shrink material would have the same glossy black finish as the original sleeves.

Thanks for any advice. popcorn[1].gif

Have you seen this 2:1 shrink from Techflex? Might not be a high enough shrink ratio to get the terminals through, but I'm not sure.

Note: Never used it, but have been happy with other Techflex products.

Haven't seen it and looks promising. I think 2:1 should work. The factory sleeve isn't sucked down too tight anyway and 2:1 should be plenty to get wires with spade terminals through. Obviously large plastic connectors have to come off. But those come off installing the harness anyway. I've googled and searched on ebay and found lots of stuff that might work. But pictures and descriptions were too vague to know how the finish looks. Thanks!

A friend just bought Flexo Woven Wrap TechFlex Mesh Netting for his RASANT/PMO EFI setup. Al Kosmal put it together, however, he was seeking further protection. I've bought from McMaster but I like what he purchased a lot.

If I wasn't so anal about getting the factory stock look, the mesh stuff is what I would use. I think it's a better loom sleeve, but not "vintage." beer.gif

I just picked up today some heat shrink that is darker in color and has silicone inside for sealing. It's marine quality
