What's everybody's favorite source for buying wiring/looms/etc.?
« on: April 23, 2015, 04:38:29 PM »

What's everybody's favorite source for buying wiring/looms/etc.?

Here's my cab wiring that leads to my dome-light and cargo-light. I'm putting in another light in with the dome light but on a different circuit. I'd like to keep it looking stock (the loom and orange/white-doublewire you see there).

Can't leave out Waytek Wire for larger quantites of SXL wire and ISO relay parts. 
The Electrical Depot has quite a lot of the more common Delphi connectors and even some oddball stuff like the GT150 terminals.

I just got a complete 21 circuit wire harness to rewire my entire truck for under $200.

http://www.ezwiring.com/store/viewitem.php?productid=4

I know several hot rod builders who swear by EZ Wiring harnesses....their recommendations led me to purchase one.  It is no different from a Painless apart from the $600 difference in price.  I bought mine off of Amazon.  The harness comes complete, as pictured, with full directions, firewall fittings, steering column plugs, etc.

I'm very happy with the quality of the system.....and though I haven't installed it yet, I can't see any difference in quality from the Painless harness that's currently installed (and soon to be replaced  8) )

Quick question:  That loom in the OP pic, would that be a "asphalt coated" kind?

Found a site that sells SXL wiring around 10$ less than the others I've seen: "spectrowireandcable"

How's about quality of these sources? Any problems (material, flaws, etc.)? Someone on another forum did some tests on speaker wire resistivity and found notable variances.

A couple more to add to the list:

Crimp Supply  (comprehensive electrical supply source, including Amphenol, Aptiv/Delphi/Packard, and Deutsch)
Wire Care  (another good source for various electrical supplies)

Some of the listed vendors are significantly more forgiving on shipping costs, so shoppers beware and compare pricing before committing to purchases.
