I'm almost done extracting the wiring from all the deleted items (almost everything) in the car. I am keeping the factory guages and climate control (no AC) hence the surgery as opposed to outright gutting of the wiring harness. My question is what are some good, reliable, clean looking ways to finish the harness itself other than ten rolls of friction tape. TIA

Yards and Yards of shrink tubing...

Geo

Split loom and P-clamps.

Laura,
Does the shrink tubing work (i.e. seal) if you split it lengthwise to fit over existing wiring runs?

Geo,
Thanks for the link. Is plastic split loom tubing really better than a harness bundled in friction tape a la Porsche?

Geo

Well..... I'd say if you want a tidy wiring harness, the split loom is tremendously better. I plan to use this stuff throughout my car. I personally cannot believe the miserable methods Porsche uses with their harnesses. I wonder if the newer ones are any better?

i like the split loom, still a little tape on the ends but dont strech it.

If you are routing any wires near a heat source you can get aluminum split tubes. I used them near the header and under the intake. For the rest I used the black plastic split tubes. I removed all the wiring and started from scratch.
