Cloth Wire

After reading Gastrick's thread on cloth covered plug wire, I did a little searching and found a supplier of multi strand cloth covered wire of different sizes.

I will rewire the '22 dodge with this, as I like the look alot.
Any one have ideas about what to use for bundling wires besides tie wraps?
Something a little more period looking?
I was thinking about cutting shrink tubing in 1/2 wide bands to represent electrical tape, the way we did it when I was a younger guy, and it wouldnt hide the cloth wire.

Thoughts or ideas appreciated. Thanks, '22

they used string tied in knots every inch or two the whole length of the run, i`ll see if I can find you a pic

like this...... time consuming but really cool.

Eastwoods has this cloth wrapping tape , man , I must be getting old , I remember when electric tape was made out of cloth not plastic..... also take a look at this site www.restorationspecialties.com , they have lots of neat stuff there.

crazy, this is stuff i had no idea existed. very cool though

Thanks...

Thanks, '24.

The string would really have me talking to myself.....
I can't immagine someone having to do that all day to earn a living...

And, yeah, I remember cloth tape also.
It was much easier to rip a piece off when needed, but the adheasive also was left stuck to your fingers.
Ah yes, those memories.... '22

Thanks for the wire tip, 22.

As far as the cloth tape goes, you can use baseball bat grip tape. It's easy to find as is black cloth. I've used it before.

Also, check this place out. The have some seriously cool vintage type hardware.

Thanks guys.........

Gastrick and '24, thanks for those links..... I think

There is a lot of cool stuff there, and too many ideas.....
But I do have awhile to sort it out before I return again

Seriously, thanks. There are some items that I have needed, hadn't really
looked for yet, but found already on those sites.
There is some options for molding around the top of the body that I hadn't
really looked for yet.
Saw a magazine article about cutting, bending, and welding tubing for the top perimeter edge of the rear body, darned if I can find it now that I need it.
But spotted some interesting molding options on those sites.

Should be some good fun. "22

those sites will keep you busy while your in Russia.....
