Wiring protection?
Just wondering what you guys are using to protect your wiring? I really don't want to use electrical tape. Does the convoluted wire tubing (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...art=SUM-890211) look too cheesy? How about painless's power braid (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku) although it's quite expensive??.....
Thanks!

Re: Wiring protection?
I was going to get the painless covering. I saw it at their booth at the Ft Worth rod & custom show and it seemed like a quality product. I did my EFI harness in cloth tape because I don't like the way that convoluted plastic stuff looks. I may cover it in the painless stuff for durability.

Re: Wiring protection?
Wiring harness tape. It looks like electrical tape but is much wider and not sticky. Much the same as the factory used.

Re: Wiring protection?
I got a sample of the Painless stuff with my harness. Smart marketing on their part - I'm going to use it in my truck when I install the harness.....
