Well I'm still waiting on most of my stuff to sell haha. I'm really hoping to have it done and running by the beginning of summer.

Since this seems to be all the rage on here right now, I guess I'll join in too...

Sorry to hear that man. Best of luck with the job search.


This is a link to the Tech Flex brand.

That is the brand I used and I liked it. If you are just planning to re-loom your OEM harness, then all you probably need are 3 sizes. I believe I went with 1/4", 1/2" and 1". The roll of 25' should be more than enough. You will also need something like this to melt the end of the loom.

Everytime you cut it, it will fray so you have to melt it a little. This is basically a soldering iron with a blade attachment. You will also need some heat shrink to seal/secure the ends of the loom. I recommend 3M adhesive lined heat shrink tubing.

Keep in mind when buying it that the diameter given is before shrinking. For example it is is 1/4" tubing with a 2:1 shrink ratio, it will be 1/8" when all is said and done.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you any other questions.

P.S. If you like the little bit of wiring work I've done so far, wait until I reveal my latest creation haha. Just waiting on the heat shrink in the mail to finish it up.
