Reworking my stock 7m wiring harness

[MDCmotorsports]

Ok guys and gals.

Ive seen this stuff a few times on some cars over the years, but never had the chance to ask the owner where they got it from.

Im looking for the high temp nylon looking wire loom/wrap to re-wrap the wiring harness in.

Ive seen some guys use it when they redo their injector clips.

I know some of the expensive stuff comes from Raytheon, but I can't get my hands on it.

Any help?

I bought it from my local auto parts place, they have it in a bunch of sizes.

You can get it online too - http://www.wiringproducts.com/contents/en-us/d90.html - the high temp stuff is the lower left link...

I use that wire loom all the time, click to enlarge:


I get it at Lowes. It's temperature range is: -30* to 200*F, I believe. It might be 300*F, but I can't remember, and don't have a pack handy.

Raytheon is not the right company. CLOSE though!

You are thinking RayChem, made by Tyco.

They are the ones that make the DR-25 heatshrink tubing that is used in the race circuits. They also make Spec 55m cabling which is what most F1 teams use for wiring.

Might you be thinking of Techflex?

I know they make some high temp stuff (good to around 1200F or something silly), and lots of guys use it in the audio world.

Thread moved to General forum. Maybe more traffic this way.

Figgie nailed it. RayChem is what Im looking for. I knew I had seen it on the Indy Cars when I was working on the bastards lol!

Any idea where I can get some of this stuff? All my Indy Car contacts are dried up...

actaully

chit chat with John Reed.

He carries most of the Raychem DR-25 heatshrink. He might also be able to get a hold of the spec 55m wiring. Though tefzel will work just as well (which is what aircrafts SOLEY use).

btw here is the spec55 information directly from Raychem/Tyco.

Now the question is - where to get those cool yellow heat shrink labels?

MDC you are lucky that I am a harness/wiring guy

under heatshrink. Available in both white and yellow They also carry self laminating labeling.

Unfortunatly you need the Rhino label printer though......

Faq!

Yeah Im mostly worried about injectors. I need labels that say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 so I don't mix up the injector clips.

Would be nice to label the entire harness but hey.

Will this print those labels?

for injector harness?

ooh that is easy then.

They are for ignition wires but work well for any wire. They might be loose even after heat shrinking. I have the Rhino 5000 but the labels are wrap around. They work just as well

Those label printers you posted will not print on the heat shrink labels

Ok, let me ask you this. How would go about wrapping the main harness, and yet have the injector pig tails come off the wrapped main?

ahh that is another simple solution
sticking to RayChem (Amphenol and all others have thier own too).

Molded boots

That is their entire catalog on molded boots They are all heatshrink also.

With that you can branch off to your hearts content!
