Making up a new loom for my Striker and have the ECU plug already wired in. Now i would like to cover the loom completely from the plug outwards, but not sure what stuff to use. The plug is about 50mm by 20mm so whatever i use will need to cover that, and the rest of the loom. Heat shrink tubing i suppose would be the best , so what do i use, and where do i get it ?

You'll probably need to use self-amalgamating tape in place of heatshrink at the ECU plug/loom due to the size of it and then maybe use some cloth loom tape for the OEM look on the rest of the loom.

I used the proper OEM fabric tape from www.vehicleproducts.co.uk It's called Rayon Cloth Tape

Excellent Just want to make sure its all watertight and neat. I basically lost two trackdays because the chap that built the car ran part of the loom too close to a moving part, chaffed cables are not a result. Pity it took so long to find the bloody problem. Still, hopefully be up and running again within three weeks, looking forward to driving it again, and hopefully with some reliability this time.
