if you'd carry wire sleeving (loom) as well, that would be great. wouldn't have to place multiple orders then to get wire and sleeving.

i'm not sure about aluminum...seems like a poor plan....ya know, being wrapped around power wires and all...seems like a short waiting to happen. i know mcmaster has up to 500ft spools of the stuff. 1/4" id is what i ordered, its a bit of a bear to get over deans plugs, but really cleans stuff up well. even has a lot of color selection there. the only reason i don't have more of it sitting around is because i can't bring myself to just order that from them.

yea, i'll stick to nylon, i'll do some price searching...does just a stretch expandable mesh sound good, or some heat shrink mesh that'l make a nice snug fit.

i put heat shrink on the ends of it after i'm done getting it in place, looks better than the raw singed end imo. as you can see, it really does clean it up, and is pretty easy to work with, much easier than zipties imo (the cutting them off part is annoying). i'm no master at it, but i'm liking it more and more whenever i have to do work on my truck. |

$2.65 per 10 feet is what you can order it yourself for before shipping if that helps ya on that. good thing is that its light and would fit in envelopes for shipping EDIT: the 1/4"-1/2" works fine for me, would have been easier if i had done it while initially wiring the truck though, getting it over the deans did take a fair amount of patience. i'm also running the big 12g or whatever it is that comes on the mmp, the guys that are switching to small gauge wire and micro deans would probably be looking for something far different than me.
