    I have seen pictures of flatheads with the ignition wires routed along the bottom edge of the heads through individual chrome or stainless tubes. Is there anyone out there who makes them that will accommodate 8mm wire? My engine is equipped with a blower and the manifold area is too tight to run the conventional looms. Any help is appreciated.

    I'm having the same issue, too tight under the blower. I was thinking of getting some SS tube and fabbing some to fit along the lower edge...I'm curious how this has been done by others.

    you could make some out of copper tube, single flare the end out a little, make em one by one then solder them together with a strap/mount on the back.

    Never really liked metal wire looms. Seemed they always had a problem of arching. Maybe the cheap red wires I ran back in the day.
