Colour coding wire

Gavin · Post by **Gavin** » Mon May 28, 2007 7:51 pm

I am contemplating replacing the wiring in my 71 KG but would like to match the wire colours - which is hard. Whilst I can get a variety of colours and stripes some I can't match and invariably have to buy a big quantity of it.

So I thought maybe I wouldn't need to try so hard to match the colours but use clear heat shrink on the ends of the wires where they connect to the terminals but before I shrink the tubing make a piece of paper coloured the same as the correct colour of the wire and stick that under the heat shrink.

Wad' ya' think?

Have a look at this thread...

I wonder if you used the adhesive lined tubing if it would destroy the label? Also, in my experience with clear tubing, it seems to loose its "clearness" in a short period of time.
