Red and White Wire Loom - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

lts70 · 03-15-2010, 09:41 AM

I am looking for a Red and White alternating stripe wire loom. I will post a picture of a little tote goat bike that has it covering its headlight wiring. Any help locating a product like this or ideas of how to recreate it would be appreciated.

try looking thru jcwhitney catalogue// or a local bicycle shop

lts70 · 03-15-2010, 10:24 AM

I searched jcwhitney's online store but did not have much luck. Does there paper catalog have more than the online?

tcb-1 · 03-15-2010, 02:31 PM

are you sure that's a loom, or a custom wrap job?

lts70 · 03-15-2010, 02:52 PM

It might have been a wrap on the bike pictured but I have seen some pictures of the same bikes with a spiral loom that looks a lot like the coil bindings printers like Kinko’s put on a spiral bound notebook. But a lot more closely spaced. I will try to find some pictures of what I am talking about. I have googled about everything I can think of trying to find a similar product.

It's out there, just custom...Here ya go...

www.techflex.com

"Techflex offers Flexo PET in the widest range of in-stock standard colors in the industry, including UV reactive and multicolor spirals. Additionally, we can manufacture Flexo PET in custom solid or spiral combinations. Contact an Account Representative for relevant details regarding custom orders."

This more what I am looking for. It looks like it is a white inner soild and a red spiral outer.

Beatcoaster · 03-15-2010, 05:09 PM

Ya, I figured as much. I haven't seen that plastic candy cane stuff around in all in my years of searching for the ultimate looms for all my home and car stereo installs...

lts70 · 03-15-2010, 06:05 PM

Has anyone seen solid white tubbing this small or the red spiral that would give this affect?

lts70 · 03-15-2010, 06:15 PM

Maybe something like this

lts70 · 03-15-2010, 06:24 PM

Now I need to find a smooth white tubing to work under the red coil.

We use it a lot at the shop (my print shop)

That stuff will melt if its in a hot place.

Its also pretty rigid.

And you can usually only get it in 11" or 14" lengths.

lts70 · 03-15-2010, 06:49 PM

I was wondering about that, Dang back to the drawing board. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them on how to get this red/white striped affect

Places like this are what you need. There are a million bike resoration sites on net.

lts70 · 03-17-2010, 12:09 PM

Still have not found anything. Hoping a Bump to the top will help.

The Speedway guy has about 8 different sizes & diameters of red/white alone. I'm sure lts70 can get something pretty darn close...

lts70 · 03-18-2010, 08:58 AM

Holy crap you guys are great! Thanks a ton passthebuck. I love this site. This is what I am building to take to car shows in the back of my 70. My missing chain case and side car are in the mail and I am trying to round up the rest of the odds and ends and this definnally helps.
