Default small diameter loom braid - where from?

As title, i bought a load a while back from vehiclewiringproducts but the smallest braid they list is too big for just two wires and doesn't pull tight enough to look neat!
anybody know where else to look / try?

Cheers in advance, Gary

try farnell or rs mate , i use vwp braid on 2 wires and it looks good but i lightly twist all my pairs together which helps with interferance . i dont know if they sell the same stuff as vwp as its only rated to a heat of 130 degree , it might be the flame proof stuff which is very expensive and is only rated at 160 degrees . you know what your doing but do you put heat shrink over the backend of the cable then pull the braid forwards to take any slack then heat shrink that ?



there are the injector plugs and are 2 wire

The problem you may have is the amount, ie a small amount but there are a few on here who make looms who would no doubt sell you a bit.
Looked into pectel braid, but didn't bother, and prefer heat shrink me self anyway.
If you do get stuck though pm me.

Exellent cheers Spiky, thats the stuff, the smallest i found before was 6mm which rather than looking round with only 2 wires in it, it looked flat, even with heatshrink either end pulling it tight!
3mm stuff should be perfect, i'll order some up and try it!!
Cheers lads!!!
