Dream Weaver 2 Posted October 2, 2006 I mixed 0.5 and 1.0 thinwall from VWP, and bought lots of different colours. It cost about £115 for all the wiring, connectors, crimp tool etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugpete1108 62 1 Cars Posted October 2, 2006 You're doing all your wiring the same colour? yup , figured it will be easier/cheaper than using loads of different colours , they will all be numbered at the ends anyhow , and when they are all wrapped you wont be able to tell. 'mixed 0.5 and 1.0 thinwall from VWP, and bought lots of different colours. It cost about £115 for all the wiring, connectors, crimp tool etc' yeah i did look on there but it seemed lots of hastle instead of just buying 1 or 2 rolls to do the whole job and seeing as its £12 for a 50m roll i cant grumble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) You'll wish you got multi colours when you start making it though My original loom was all one colour and was a complete nightmare!! The new loom is brilliant with a single colour for every wire - the numbers *WILL* fall off when you route the loom Edited October 2, 2006 by Dream Weaver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugpete1108 62 1 Cars Posted October 2, 2006 i'm sure i will regrett it but what the hey we will see the numbers shouln't come off as i will be using cable tied numbers borrowed from the engineer stores at work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted October 11, 2006 i'm sure i will regrett it but what the hey we will see the numbers shouln't come off as i will be using cable tied numbers borrowed from the engineer stores at work Cheaper way to do it is to buy a nice 100m roll of wire (~25quid for decent stuff) then go to screwfix direct and buy a couple of different colours of PVC sheathing ( self extinguishing too, which is handy) @ 5.00 each. Little bit of time to thread the wiring through but saves a lot of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
