The harness in my Ranchero's fine, but I've moved a bunch of stuff around and want to re-route anyway so an off the shelf aftermarket harness would be not only expensive and excessive, but more or less useless. Where can I get a hold of lenghts of specific color wire? Are there different qualities of wire and what do I look for? Thanks
I usually get any of my wiring from darvex.com. I haven't ordered in a while, but they were able to get me spools of wire in just about any size I wanted. It was Stinger Electronics wire so it is built for the automotive environment. I have had real good luck with it. The harness that I built for my air ride on my 97 has held up nice.
shouldn't be a problem. Standard ignition company has differant colored wire by the spool in differant gauges as well. I'm sure there's lots of others besides them
home depot. i like to use the fiberglass wrapped stove wires. i just think they look right. not period, but right
I picked up the stuff I've got spliced into it right now at Home Depot, but it's crap, real stiff and only around three colors. The fiberglass stove wire is something I've been looking for for a while now for my bikes, thanks for that heads up. That's what the plug wires are wrapped in here, or at least mimicking: right?
If you have the option buy tinned wire . It will be silver color under the insulation instead of copper . WAY better for cars ,boats , etc, Also easier to solder . Tinned is a little harder to find but better for exposed areas . Under the dash probably would not offer much advantage .
A friend of mine builds aftermarket wiring harnesses, mainly for limo manufacturers. He has about anything you could need for making your own harness or whatever. Personally, I don't know a bunch about electrical stuff, but if I could help you out PM me. Mark
I asked for help on a similar topic a while back and got some great replies: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178902&showall=1
