So I am finally on the downhill side on my major wiring project.. I used hwy 22 kit. My question is now that I have this bundle of wires under the dash. What is a good quality wrap type wire loom to use? I have everything zip tied up pretty well. I just want to wrap it and then I should be good to go..
Thanks

Under the dash? I usually do not use anything unless it is in danger of rubbing on something.

Here are my two favorites, though.

This one is the better looking of the two and I am pretty sure is what comes on most aftermarket efi harnesses.

This is the one I use most, if I use it at all.

I wrap the ends with tape as needed to keep it from unwinding. Not electrical tape, I hate the gooey mess if you ever need to get back into it. The magical self fusing tape that only sticks to it self.

Thanks, Just lightened me up a tad,, I ordered 50ft of 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4.. Not sure how much of the 3/4 I will use but I shouldn't ever have to buy anymore in this lifetime.. Thanks
