Thanks for the tip Jay The amalgamating tape is pretty similar to what you mentioned- the stuff I found is sold by Nitto as Butyl tape. It's like really thick (black) cling wrap that sticks to itself but not to the loom, so you don't need to cable tie it and it doesn't go gummy. Not cheap, but I only used about 1/3 of the roll to do the headlight harness! It's easy to source here too which helps!

Hi guys...I just came over from another thread about replacing the flwheel. I share the "starter pain". I just pulled the old starter (installed May 2009) ...another "broken nose" on the starter. So, for now, I'm off the "remove flywheel" track, and trying to figure out where/how I can get the right starter. Slyalfa, you had some very good information on model numbers for the various...

The GCB 8 and GBC 16 fuses I found are slightly too big (by a millimeter or so - they are described as being for German cars) than what is in the car now. I am in the process of fixing the wiring and want to be sure that I start with the correct baseline. My tail lights / reverse lights are not working, and the HI/Lo headlights seem to have...

From the Urban Dictionary: "Not good, not up to the task, not true. Originally a UK schoolboy slang expression: "a pile of pants", presumably the equivalent of dirty, smelly washing. Later spread to adults and abbreviated. "It doesn't work. It's just a pile of pants!" or "I don't like that group. Their music is pants" cf "balsa" and "a...

There is a marine supply house near me that makes their own cables. Any gauge and connectors, but a little pricey. I just replaced the alt to junction block cable with a standard item from Advance, picked up a half volt on the voltage gauge.
