Default Wiring loom re-wrapping

Just removed all the old sticky oil wrap from the car side of the engine bay loom

What do you recommend to use to tidy it up?

Have seen this stuff on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Classic-car-ve...item19c58bd0d7

but would like to see what others have used other than insulation tape

When my car was completly re loomed i got the tape from here: http://www.co-star.co.uk/index.asp

Might be this one: http://www.co-star.co.uk/product/IT.4/IT.4 but without digging the receipt out i'am not 100%.

Really nice product which gave the OEM feel to the loom.

Be careful I had a car in that the owner re wrapped the loom including the injector wires and after removing the tape the wires were burnt almost through where the wires bend to go on the injectors.
