A while back I made two wiring harnesses, one for ignition, the other for lights. I wrapped both up in plastic insulation tape, not an easy job keeping the cables straight and in the same order for the harness length. I managed that reasonably well, but after wrapping the harnesses were s tiff as a board and twisted.

This morning some cloth insulation tape arrived, so I cut the old plastic stuff off and wrapped both harnesses in the cloth tape, boy what a difference. The harnesses are now quite straight, pliable and easier to thread through the frame. Big improvement. Good stuff this cloth insulation tape.

Tomorrow I'll solder on some more terminals for the rear end, shorten a couple of leads and hook everything up.

The tape had to come from China of course, couldn't find and suppliers in Oz. So many things you just can't buy in Australia, Go down the street to buy cable, terminals, bearings and so on, visit half a dozen shops and come home empty handed. No wonder everyone is turning to online shopping, usually from overseas sellers.
