Default Wire Looms

Need a little help on what you guys use for wire looms. Pros and cons on what you mite of had problems with.

This is what I have that I want to make look better. Not looking for show look but want to clean it up. I'm making new wires and want to hide them as much as I can.

I've used several different things-


On the injector wires-

some split loom - then used some ½ copper pipe - cut up and painted









Also added screens to the velocity stacks-



For the harness running to the headlights- I used SS AN-12 hose- I ended up changing over to the black braided stuff- which is easier to work with.
I bought the expensive stuff for the fuel and oil- and the cheap knock-off stuff off eBay for the wiring-as I'm not worried as much about the hose leaking!!!






The smaller wires- I used the AN-6 black braided hose- lower left-hand corner




For the big wire I use heat shrink and expandable sleeve-











And where I need to protect the wires- I like this stuff- the spiral plastic

To pretty it up the split loom- even use the split loom to cover vacuum lines

I used a universal MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor wire set cut to fit alongside the valve covers in R&M Specialties #1101P looms.

I made some brackets from alu angle (painted black) that I mounted separators to, parallel with the sides of the rocker covers. Sorry, not the best picture.
