Hi folks
Another question for everyone. I'm in the final stages of tidying up the engine bay and having a dilemma about how to make it look - wrap the loom in that split corrugated tubing, or wrap with cloth tape. Can anyone who is particularly proud of their engine bay post a picture (or several) showing how their loom is laid out?
cheers
Sam

Hola,
ditch the split tube plastic stuff. You're not wiring a house.
The current automotive standard is nylon housing with a cloth tape. Tesa makes an excellent product. Also use it to bunch up the individual wires inside the nylon every 6" or so.
I don't have a really good picture of the harness, but this is a WIP shot of my efi wiring.
Notice also the extra thick packaging where it goes through a body panel or other "sharp" edge.
Cheers
