Re: metal wire loom

I doubt anyone makes anything like that, at least I have never seen one.
It sounds like something that would have to be fabbed up.

Re: metal wire loom

Metal tubing is the cool way to go, even GM used it for awhile on the wires near the starter.

You could also use the asphalt wire covering, a little harder to find in large sizes. I have used and still use the small size for one or two wire applications, works great.
