Loom wrapping

Right-o,

The Nova currently only has its stock wiring as I removed the alarm system and what-not during the cars time at the bodyshop.

The current loom and the LET loom has taping around it to at least bunch them up together. I wanna do the same with the other wires.When the alarm wiring, HID wires and additional wires go in what would be the best way to contain all those wires to make it look like one loom/bunch of wires rather than loads of little wires dangling and loose. Same goes for inside.

Is there special tape that can be bought? I've prevşously wrapped wires in electrical tape but after a while due to heat the glue starts to melt and get's real messy. I'm considering making use of wiring clips which should help carry wires and secure them to the body but wanted to see if there are any wrapping available for looms.

Also called fabric tape.
Another thing, not sure if its what your looking for, but the plastic corrugated stuff might be a good shout?

You mean those plastic tubes/pipes you get as a cable tidy for PC's and stuff (but obviously a lot smaller in diameter)?

That fabric tape on eBay looks the stuff to keep things wrapped up nicely, and I'm sure the LET loom would benefit from some of that too as no doubt it's started to unravel.

Any place you know of Stuart that does those stuff? On on eBay having a look.

I have used self amalgamating tape for harnesses in the past, looks neat when done carefully.
