have you thought about buying some rounded cables? They are easy to use and fairly inexpensive.

Pasty901 · 07-01-2003, 10:58 AM

Ye ive got rounded cables, they look smart its the psu wires i need to do something with...they just make it look a real mess

i did think about heatshirnk as a last resort but its expensive and not altogether pretty looking, as i say the sleeving would have been wonderful if only i cud get it over here :-?

I went to my local auto parts store and bought "split loom" wire and hose covering. I went to a major chain (Pep Boys) and they had a nice selection of colors. It is mostly available in black, which still looks good. I have also seen it available in Home Improvement Centers.(Centres fer you in the UK)

RipperRoo · 07-01-2003, 10:38 PM

its available in the uk, as a m8 of mine just finished sleaving his psu, and heres the link to where he bought it

Crikey it's as messy as my flat in there.

Pasty901 · 07-03-2003, 06:12 PM

Lol exactly

rastagard · 07-03-2003, 06:41 PM

Hey Pasty, it looks like ya got everything all wrapped, if not pretty, it is functional. If ya decide to go with the split loom covers, this will make it extremely easy to put them on. The only hard part of using this product (and this aint that hard really) is trying to get the split over the group of wires you want to cover. I used zip ties, but they created a little bump. No biggie, but the wrapped wires will probably be a snap!

I have found that the sleeved wires are very easy to manipulate when I need to move them out of the way. The nature of the split loom is such that you can twist the cable out of your way and it will stay put. I highly recommend it.

berks · 07-03-2003, 08:39 PM

Rasta you should a picture of yours in here!

rastagard · 07-03-2003, 09:03 PM

Wellllllll, OK.

Twist my arm..........................
