Spiral Wrap

Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to buy small lengths of spiral wrap for my (engine side) loom.

I have seen it on ebay but to get good value you need to buy 10m and I only need small lengths of a couple of sizes

another vote for CBS, top blokes.

Just watch you dont get carried away. I usually finish buying everything I need, then trawl back through for stuff I want, and finnally go back through again as I'm so close to the £100 free postage it seems a shame to waste it.

I used 6mm split convoluted tube. It will not show the dirt like the spiral wrap will do after a while.

Still... nothing wrong with either method.






1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Split tubing gets my vote as well, easier to place wires inside and easier to mod the loom at a later date if needed. The spiral stuff is a right pain.

You will come to loathe spiral wrap after you've had to re-wrap a large section of the loom for the third time because you've had to put in yet another wire you hadn't thought of. Trust me
