right trying to find something to tidy up my wires on my bulkhead .. thinking of putting loads of electric tape around it unless you can think of ote to tidy it up ???

What about wire tidies? They are plastic with a slit down the back and come in a range of colours..... Just a thought

Cheers james

I wouldnt use tape if i were you, as soon as it gets hot it will stick like crazy and if you ever want to take it off to repair the loom, or do the job properly with wire tidy things then you will find it unbelievably sticky underneath and the tape will fall off :)

Electrical tape is a PITA when you inevitably have to dismantle it.

You can buy something called loom tape designed for just this, it's like electrical tape but you can take it off fairly easily and it doesn't have a horrible residue.

as above 'loom tape' is your friend :) you can get some different types too, from the standard pvc type to a fabric type if you're going for a period look

Got my engine bay wiring pretty much done now and the bloke who did it with me loves the stuff and he's done wiring for years.
