Wire looms

Does any one have a source for 8mm wire looms? All I have seen are 7mm.
Thanks, Don

Re: Wire looms

Check with Flathead Jack on his website. I found that many times he has things that the other FH parts suppliers do not carry. However, he does seem to charge somewhat of a premium for his parts, but hey, if he carries things you can't find elsewhere that you really want/need, I would buy from him.

I couldn't find any, either, so I made my own. I can send you all the measurements and stuff if you'd like.

Re: Wire looms

That would be great if you don't mind Richard. It appears that you have them under rather than over which I prefer. Your engine is beautiful by the way.
Thanks, Don

Re: Wire looms

Wire looms look cool but they will cut the spark plug current somewhat due to capacitive leakage.

Give me an e-mail address, either here or in a PM.

Thanks for the nice words on the engine. An enormous amount of planning and execution went into it.

Re: Wire looms

Don , i made a set of wire loom like Richard. I used aluminum tubing and buffedit on a buffing wheel. it came out looking like chrome. I got the tubing from McMaster-Carr.com and the aluminum seperators from performance distributors .com
Don't know if it will help , just passing it along

Thanks Choiceph, I got a material list and good diagrams from Richard in Florida and will try to make my own as you did.
