So I was doing some wiring the other day and realized I don't know a lot about how to do a clean wiring job.
I can make the wires the correct length and solder and shrinkwrap all my connections, but when it comes to using loom, does it go around bare wire and then you wrap the loom with tape to keep the wires clean? I did that and put a zip tie at each end. Is loom even the best stuff to use, or should you just use non-adhesive vinyl tape?
A few more hints to start the thread: I was wiring a GM relay into my starter circuit. It's like the Painless starter relay kit, but it was free . Not a bad idea to pick up a few of these next time you're at the junkyard. And don't just pick up the relay, get the whole socket assy with enough wire to solder to. Anybody know how many volts it takes to activate the coil on these? How many amps it's good for?
Check out Waytek for some cool wiring products, like a few different types of self-resetting breakers and good shrink tubing.
Also post up examples of nice wiring jobs you've seen, and hints for how to do a clean job of wiring a rig.
