Hello All.

<On 06Jun2024 13:12 <bp@www.zefox.net> wrote a message to All regarding Wire
harness building materials >

 <w> Went looking for some spiral cable wrap to build a few simple
 <w> wiring harnesses. ISTR it was pennies per foot some years ago, so I
 <w> expected dimes per foot now.

 <w> Turns out it's dollars per foot for the spiral stuff, but slit
 <w> corrugated hose is much cheaper, roughly what I expected for
 <w> spiral. 

 <w> Anybody have a clue why? The convoluted  material looks a lot
 <w> slower to make. I tend to think it's inferior mechanically,
 <w> and certainly is bulkier.

 <w> Thanks for reading, and any ideas...

I've found this really helpful for a lot of our rack building projects:

They have a very wide variety available.
