Wire suppliers?

Post by paulk »

I'm after some wire to upgrade Milly's loom.

I don't want a huge amount but would like the colours to match (solid colour with tracer) so does anyone know a company that will sell a few of metres of each of only 3 or 4 colours?

Also any idea what grade of wire I need, I'm wiring indicators into a trafficator car but at some point in the future will get them both working together.

Cheers
Paulk

Hello Paul,

here is a link to a company I have used, their web site will also give a guide to cable sizing. They stock and sell by the meter the correct colour coded cable.

I also like Autosparks - But I'm not sure if they do wire per metre.

I want to get some for a few wiring jobs, and likewise don't want to buy a whole roll of each colour combination!

Just about to rewire my Series MM when it comes back from respray. I have had a new loom made up by Autosparks with plastic coated wiring (non original but it doesn't go black after 6 months) and including all my extra bits such as indicators, reversing light, rear fog light etc. Should be an interesting job.
Did the same job on my traveller a few years ago but that has an alternator which makes the wiring simpler.
