    Engine wiring harness tape question
    « on: July 26, 2016 - 10:54:28 PM »
    Been cleaning up my OEM engine wire harnesses.  Were these wrapped with a combination of electrical and friction tape?  I'm finding both on my harnesses, but it's mostly electrical tape except where a wire or several wires leave the harness then that area is wrapped in friction tape.   :feedback:

    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    I've found friction tape in my wiring also. Not a huge amount and the rest appears to be the non-adhesive stuff. Just my  :2cents:

      :iagree:

     In time the non-adhesive happens from hydrocarbons.
