ls1 harness how to protect the wires
Hy all
GM is originally using a corrugated tube for protecting the wires. Sorry but i am not sure how u call it in english.....i mean those black flexibel plastice tubes... My english translater calls it "corrugated tube" So after i have stripped the harness....i want to use the same tube, but i am just wondering if the sharp edge (where the tube is slotted) wont hurt the where the cables come out of the harness.... ??? Of course i have tapped the cables before i put it in the tubes... but i guess of all the vibratons of the engine the sharp edge will cut it through... I hope u understand what i mean !! :-) Thanks for ur help CU Achim |

Re: ls1 harness how to protect the wires
Here it is frequently called split loom. Most of the time you will see just a few extra layers of tape where your wirirng needs to exit the loom. If you want a really clean look you can get something like this. Just make sure it is engine temp safe.

Re: ls1 harness how to protect the wires
There are different types of this stuff that all do the same job. You can also look at "braided loom" which looks like a Chinese Finger Trap, and is a bit softer and more flexible than the other stuff.

Re: ls1 harness how to protect the wires
I use Techflex braided loom on all my harnesses. You can get it in the solid "finger trap" style like Brew mentioned, and you can also get a split version of it.
