Hi folks,

I need to order some heatshrink so could someone please tell me the thickness of the wiring for the dashboard connectors on a nova please?

Many thanks

It's already taped and crimp connected, but i'm gonna strip the loom right down and do it all properly

I would get some heatshrink with adhesive inner liner - available from Maplins - more expensive than the normal heatshrink but seals the joints completely from the atmosphere meaning the solder joints don't go dry causing connection problems and the adhesive once cooled and hard protects the joint from vibrations.

It varys, headlights and blowers will be thicker than horns and illumination.
I would imagine you could by heatshrink packs that would cover most sizes you need.
