Hi everybody,
I need to re tape my engine bay wiring loom
What's the best to use ?

Thank you

Simon

The modern tape (black fleece tape http://www.autosparks.co.uk/electrical- ... -long.html) probably the best - but if need to gain access to the wire its a sod to remove.I have used this tape http://www.autosparks.co.uk/electrical- ... -long.html

The autosparks tape is if I recall non-sticky, it just sort of sticks to itself. Normal insulation tape is horrible and nasty sticky stuff that's fine for emergency situations but otherwise horrible to remove.

I used bondelec tape, which you can buy from Holden classics,

I have 90% of my roll left if you're interested

Malcolm

The original non sticky tape. Adhesive tape will make the loom less flexible.

Many thanks for all the replies

Also does the starter motor lead from the battery clip onto the subframe , where abouts please

Many thanks
Simon

On the back side of the front cross member of the sub frame three are two holes for a retention clip similar to the brake pipe clips
