fabric covered wiring
Hi guys. Two queries. First, does anyone know of a supplier of fabric covered wire or fabric sleeving for the rewiring of a vintage wiring system.
Second, can anyone recommend someone to re-silver a reflector.
North West UK if possible. Thanks. Keith.

Are you still looking for an answer? Drags do cloth covered harnesses...

Thanks for the replies on this one. I have had the reflector nickel plated, it is more than good enough with 6v electrics as slight yellow tinge is not noticeable. I have had reports of cloth covered wire being available from the odd auto jumble but as yet I have no contact details. Cheers guys. Keith.
I just use the rayon cloth tape (from vehicle wiring products - among other places) to bind my looms.
I make all my own looms up, for Brits anyway ...

I make all mine too, but there are places that "weave" the " cotton"covers around the wires of the loom when it is all together. When I consider how long it takes me, any reasonable cost for a good finished product would have to be the way to go. When you do your own, you control how heavy you make various wire and whether you put a good earth wire from the headlamp to the main frame. ( which is a must for good, well better, lights) Nev
