I'm looking to make a fair amount of mods to my loom, almost to the point of making a new loom just using the plugs from the orig one.

Now I'm having a lot of trouble finding a seller of various colour wire that has traces in various colours.

Any one know a place that i can get some from?

At the moment im thinking of raiding the closest nick'a'park for looms and just hope i get the right lengths in the right colours, this will be rather hit and miss tho...

Im using an EZ wire kit in my car. Seriously... best move you could make.

Hide all your wiring, all new connections etc, remove unnecessary parts etc.

And can get 12 circuit models with mini fuse boxes for around $130 USD

No shit hey. Check ebay for everything before you buy it from a shop/site, haha.

I think I came across a place selling wire with traces in the but I can't remember. The link is about as good as it gets.

The other option is to buy a big roll of one colour and put labels on them at the ends with epoxy filled heatshrink.

I was cleaning out the shed today and found an AE82 cabin loom and engine bay loom. It's yours for 15 bucks or so if you want it.

i went to my auto sparky and he had like 30 different roles. different colours/stripes/dashes and in different gauge in certain colours. could match most colours in my loom.

but i ended up using my loom from the ke70, heaps of colours and thicknesses/ Skylar is on the money

Came really fast and seems reasonably priced, only 5 amp though.
