Default electrical conduit source?

Anyone know where to get the plastic corogated tubing for underhood electrics? I have seen it in chrome somewhere, but can't seem to find it.

Ideas?

I usually see it at both Autozone and Oreillys. Maybe try JCWhitney and Jegs?

Waytek has it, too.

For that factory look, just get the cheap black stuff and tape it.

Get the Ricer Yellow. Nothing will set your Vette off like Ricer Yellow and green accents.

LOL, what? You nuts?
No man, all I want is the chrome loom if I can find it, but failing that the stock black will have to do. Mine has lots of breaks and holes in it, so I might as well fix it "While I am in there"

That's another English-English & English-American difference...... believe me, you really wouldn't want dingleberries round your windshield here
I got some of that black concertina effect stuff when last in the US from an electrical shop. Sorry, I can't remember the name, but it's a chain of shops that forum members told me I'd be able to get an analogue AVO with a 6cyl dwell scale (they didn't have an AVO, but I cleared the shelves of the conduit ).

LOL, Paul, "Dingleberries" here and there probly have the same definition, but here we use it to also describe those fuzzy ball trim pieces the Low Riders seem to be so fond of around the windshield. Either way, this old white guy ain't puttin em on.

Another word for dingleberries here is "Klingons", like from Star Trek, but with a WHOLE DIFFERENT MEANING.

Home Depot & Lowes sell it as well.

The only problem is, there are different versions of it and they are rated based upon exposure to heat, oil etc.

Check out McMaster Carr.... they have a selection of different grades and sizes.

The last time I bought some "good stuff", I ordered it from them.

The cheap stuff won't last long... it will disintegrate fairly quickly when exposed to engine heat & oil.

Anyone got a pic of the chrome stuff? I always thought it looked a little cheap.
