anyone know where i can get the braided cotton cover for a wiring loom. the wires are fine but the cotton has all rotten!

I don't fancy your chances of re covering a wiring loom. New and custom made looms can be supplied by Autosparks, tel 0115 949 7211

i dont need to cover all of it, just some of it and it seems a bit daft buying a new loom when the wiring is ok, last time i looked they were well over £100? my truck is in bits as is the wiring so its easy to get to, ill speak to autosparks anyway thank very muchly.

Just bind it with suitable tape - various types available - maybe self-amalgamating tape would be most suitable.

that doesnt look quite so tasty though!

Well - better than nothing.

Autosparks will rebraid your loom for £1.50 p/ft, though I think this is if you send them the loom, not sure if they can do it in situ

thanks for all the advice, ive looked at self amalgamating tape and might go down that route but also i have seen braided polyester sleeving on ebay that is super cheap so i may try that as well if not both! thanks again for the help

hello you can still get the braded type covering from specilist electrical suppliers ,auto sparks may still sell it,i got mine from them many years ago,try frost there quite good too.

I've been successful using bicycle handlebar tape in the past with great results.

well i haqve managed to find a supply of braided sleeving made from black polyester with a grey fleck, so it should look the part. thanks for help.
