Is the heatshrink not a little stiff once shrunk, will? Or is it special flexible stuff?

Ive heard of the stuff your using on your loom it's very flexible and heat/abrasion resistant but cant think of the name for it
Where do you get it from Will?

Its Raychem DR25, its pretty flexible when shrunk but the easiest thing to do is when the loom goes in the car is to just warm it back up again and it will then adopt the natural position when routed.


Depending on how much you need really depends where to buy it from. Some places sell it by the metre, others sell it in reels.

I'd probably have shrunk and sealed everything only once I knew the loom was tested, everything was definitely the right length, pins properly inserted/locked and so on, makes rework a lot easier.

Big Will_

Normally I do the boots and glue at the very end too. On this occasion I desperately needed some build photos for a university assignment so did them part way through. All of the terminations were checked and a resistance/continuity test performed. I had one pin that wasn't latching properly so removed it and re-inserted it in a spare location before booting.

Also, i've not yet drilled the hole in the bulkhead so if for whatever reason I have ended up a few mm out, it's easily rectified

great effort will and iam looking forward to seeing it go , did you know that theres a 60mm and a 70mm diffuser for the jenvey plenum? 70mm was used on a high powered evo engine , they made it about 2 weeks after i ordered mine but said they would swap it which was a bonus

keep up the great work

cheers paul

Big Will_

Hi Paul,

Yes, the one i'm mocking up my loom on has the 70mm one, ideal really as my throttle body is 68mm!

Anyhoo, did a little more tonight with my mate Spud helping.

Made good use of the ident labels:


Clear sleeved:


Connector terminated:


Et voila:


Same fun and games on crank sensor:

I've got a dymo machine now aswell, hence me wanting clear heatshrink

whizzisat114

iTrader: (2)

I think it'll look just as good Richie

only problem with dymo machines is they burn the letters onto the tape which is quite heat sensitive so if you arent careful you will end up turning your label black when you run a heat gun over the clear heat shrink.

Have you sorted that ST170 driveshaft bearing carrier for me yet fellor?

JonnyBravo

Very impressive Will. I need to get my head round making these looms up as although its a very time consuming job the end results are awesome !

cjwood555

Warren - i can't say i've ever had that problem - the cable usually melts before the label turns black!?!

Try RsComponents they might have it.
