I'm looking for a source for old-school fabric-covered wire for my rpu. Came across these guys: http://www.riwire.com/Catalogs/sup/pages/wire.htm Has anyone delt with RIWS? Would you recommend them?
I've bought from them many times and a good Co. to deal with and Quality products. Wire by the Foot and any color combination you want or ready made replacement loom's. There Vintage terminal selectoin is unreal. The Wizzard
I don't really want to hijack this, but I need about 1' of cloth spark plug cable, and 2' or 3' of cloth covered wire, maybe 14-18 gage. There is a 10' minimum on their spark plug wire, so I was wondering if anyone had any scraps. I posted this in the classifieds a while ago. Maybe I should post it there again.
i can't help you on the plug wire , but on the cloth covered 16 gauge i have a lot left over...it's black with a single orange tracer PM me your address and i could send you some
Try All Ford in S.J., I know J. Mcbride has his whole Woody done this way. Even the plug wires. Thanks, Tim
One of the motorcycle catalogs ( I forget which one) sells plastic covered wire that is then cloth covered, looks like the real thing.
I use to work for there partner Co. in wood river jct. RI making wiring harnesses.There a great company, in RI here i sent everyone i knew to there shop & they bought right over the counter, good people & a good product. Its new vinyl wire thats braided over.Good stuff JimV
Good company , good products. Just think ahead. Over time the cloth will break down . How fast is dependent on the conditions . I installed a cloth covered vynil wire harness in my brothers car back in the early 80's . The harness is fine but the cloth is disintegrating due to his storage in an unheated garage over the years. The harness is operative because of the vynil coating but looks like hell. Were in Chicago hopefully Santa Cruz is more forgiving. Larry
