There's about a million different types/brands of tape out there, is there one that is "correct" when redoing a wiring harness?
Thanks In advance,Dan

Its actually not "tape" in the traditional sense. It doesn't have adhesive (so it doesn't get all gooey with age/heat). If you want to do it right get the stuff from year one, or maybe the paddock?

hahaha thanks Pac, I just looked it up on Year Ones site, $27.39 with shipping. I can't afford that..
I bet 3M makes it, I'll just have to do some research

Year One never surprises me with price. At least now you know what you're looking for. Good Luck

The Y1 roll is $14.50 + S&H, if one roll is all you buy it will be $23.00. They offer 3/4" and 1 1/4" wide, 100 foot long rolls for the same price. They also claim 1 roll will do two cars.
