Hi all..

I'm planning to "tape" some wires / part of loom, to making things look better.. does anyone have some pointers or example pics how it can be done nicely?

(for example the engine loom part which goes over de fuel rail)

 

try here

http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.c.../sleeving.html

 

use the above stuff

you will however need to remove all the connectors, and fit the sleeving (and heat shrink) then reassemble the wires.

time consuming, but better than taping

 

okay, sounds fair

do you have any pics of what the result could look like?
(which sort of sleeving from the link would you suggest?

 

My loom from Ryan,excellent piece of kit,and a perfect fit

 

Ive been looking for this stuff everywhere

 

that does like great, including throttlecable

what sort of sleeving was used for that?

(and when is Ryan's next holiday to the Netherlands? )

 

maplins sell it.

 

throttle cable was covered in this stuff,or very similar to it

that looking pretty amazing..
I wonder if there are dutch guys who do this...

 

the cheap polyester braid you can get from most places as said.

maplins

Farnell
VWP

 

do you use different stuff on your looms ryan? raychem?

really want one of your looms but as i'm off to vegas in a month it may have to wait

 

yes ginge i use different stuff than supplied by all those places.

get saving then if you do

 

too bad they're not in holland

 

it would be nicer for you if you just bought one of Ryan's looms,that way you'll do away with any corroded wiring that will cause problems somewhere down the line,plus it looks nice

 

and he'd post to you as well i'm sure!!!

 

that sounds good, but is that a full engine loom?
(maybe that's a bit too much for what I need my new engine's just been build in april this year)

 

Would be from the ECU back mate!!

And that Ford loom will let you down soon!

 

little bits of my sleeving have melted, some due to age, some due to me and i'm gonn get a new loom in asap.

the rest of the engine bay, lights, brakes etc, i'll sleeve what i can myself

ryans looms are very good value considering the amount of work that goes into them, and you get all new wires, connectors and protection, much better that the 15 year old loom on any sapphire

if it aint broke dont fix it, doesnt apply here, if you can prevent the possibilty of it breaking, then always fix it, its the cosworth mantra

 

THE MAN DOES SPEAKETH THE TRUTH!

 

i have just fitted one of ryans looms looks the nuts

 

as said i can do one for your LHD car no problem, and post it over to you.

 

how much will it be including shippment?

(mine isn't broken in any place by the way )

 

catch me on msn and we can have a chat

 

Old loom now though. If it goes wrong it coild cost you your new engine...

Get a new Ryan loom. Not only will it look better but it will be sooooooo much more reliable!!!

Sell your old one on ebay and let someone else risk their new engine on a 15 year old loom!

 

ryan: can't add you as a contact, something about you not being a passport member or so

 

just added you.

indeed lee they are becoming increasing tempremental as you say there at least 15 yrs old.

3dr items are 20 years old.

 

mine's 18 this december

 

what you gonna be buying it

i covered my loom in self amalgamating tape to seal from moister ect

got fed up of the braided stuff laddering

 

I'm afraid in my case I'll have to wait for the money to be there, before getting a new loom..

Looking at the bufty side I'd rather have one yesterday then tomorrow

Have too much things to do this year (with the saff), some rusty spots to weld new pieces in and much more..

 

so your buying a new loom then cris...good work..

 

read wim

in the future I will be... what's a minter without a 18 year old loom
will be at hb by the way next week on saturday, hopefully fix the engine mountrubber problem
