Jim,
I took the easy way out and used a split plastic wire harness. I had every
intention of using tape but once I completed installing Dan's harness with
all the extra switches up under the dash, the thought of wrapping tape was
overwhelming. Unless your car is completely apart there just isn't enough
room to do the wrapping once the harness is installed. I guess an option
would be to run all the wires and cut them to the final length, use wire
ties at the assorted junctions and then remove the harness to do the
wrapping off the car. I'm guessing that the boys at the factory did the
wrapping off the car when our cars were built. I'll be curious to hear how
others have do it.

Subject: [TR] Wiring harness tape
Will be installing a wiring harness made from an www.advanceautowire.comkit,
and thinking about tape: has anyone tried that black tape that's rubbery,
advertised as even good for plumbing repairs, and "welds" to itself though
it has no glue? I wonder how it might stand up to weather.
What other things have people used with success? I don't think I want to go
with the non-adhesive stuff; it just seems like it wouuld be difficult to
work with..........
Thanks,
Jim Wallace
