Anybody know any suppliers for the protective plastic that goes round the engine loom? It would be a great help if anyone knows of a supplier and the size (diameter rather than length) for where it comes out of the firewall and along the side of the plenum and also for the part that goes up over the plenum. It doesn't need to be anything special just plain black - I've just got tape round mine at the moment which looks a mess and I'm also worrying about baking the insulation on the wires with the heat.

 

Thanks in advance,

James

SFS Performance used to sell it but not sure now, I can check tomorrow?

Yeah I did have a look on their site but they have 25mm advertised on there and it didnt sound like big enough? Unless you could sort of squash all the wires into it? Unfortunately I haven't got the original to measure :(

Do you mean this?

That would do it :) I also used old fashioned non adhesive loom tape, It's great stuff that sticks to itself once wrapped.

Yeah that's the sort of stuff! Cheers mantav8! Typical the one place I normally check first has got it! I thought it would be more of a specialist thing than to be found on eBay! Cheap enough as well. Any ideas on the correct size? Suppose I dont want it slipping around the wires but dont want them pinched inside it?

 

Cheers,

I bought a kit from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140399158754&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 

But i havent got to the bigger part of the loom yet, but it will be 26mm closed, so it will open up wider.

Just a guess but the 28mm should work.

Cheers fellas. Now that I know its so readily available and have plenty of sizes to choose from I can work out the diameter I'll need if i measure the circumference. I'll do so tomorrow and post up my findings for future reference.
