Thinking of retaping over the wiring harnesses to refresh them.

What have you guys done to your old, dirty, peeling, wiring harnesses?

I re wrapped mine yesterday, just unwrapped the original tape, and did nice tight and close wraps with black electrical tape to give it the original look, just make sure you know exactly where all the wiring goes, because once you wrap it, the wiring doesnt tend to sit the way it used to

Elec tape is to sticky I re did mine in loom tape, sticks to its self without being too sticky, costs about $20 a roll but works well

Just conduit it. Any tape goes pretty feral after a short time. i loom taped my sedan loom and as soon as it got any oil on it it goes to #OOPS#.

And with conduit you only have to tape the joins and ends. Usually is much quicker and neater

Yeah I used loom taped and brake cleaned the wiring first so the tape had a good surface to stick too.
