Wiring Harness Sleeving

Ok I am looking into the different options on wiring harness Sleeving, I want different than the oversized,bulky,gaudy Flex Loom that ends up cracking and decentergrating. Many new cars are using some type of woven sleeving that conforms to the correct size, is more flexable, better apperance, ect. I am wanting opinions on where to get these and difference on different one, and if anybody else has used them.

In my search I found a cool Place for info but still some what confusing on which one would be better for what uses. http://www.federal-mogul.com/cda/con...891002,00.html

You can find that sleeving at some of the better electronic supply stores. I have not seen it at any of the Radio Shacks in my area and I doubt that any of them carry it or even know what it is. Try to get hold of some catalogs from different Electronic supply centers and see what your options are.

See if you can get your hands on an Allied Signal electronics catalog. They carry a lot of material, most of their stuff caters towards aircraft and industial applications but some of it could be applied towards automotives.

Hello Dude,
You were on the right track with that website for Federal-Mogul, you just didn't carry it far enough. Go to this area of that website and you will find a phone number that you can call and make inqueries about their products.

cool I didn't even think to check them out, But I think that the Stuff from Federal-Mogul will Be better suited for what I want, I am still saving mcmaster-carr to my favorites.

EDIT:Well I found a guy on Ebay that makes custom harness for TPI camaros and Vetts and Ask him about the Sleeving I seen on His harness and he directed me to http://cableorganizer.com/wire-management/ Step by Step I am getting closer
