I recently picked up a used loom that I plan to refurb and upgrade/add some stuff to for my project.

Does anybody have any recommendations on Auto-Electrical suppliers either online or in northern sydney (upper north shore/hornsby area?) Just searching around for loom tape it seemed pretty pricey at supercheap and jaycar for realtively short rolls of the stuff.

Cheers

Nick

Can't seem to find and Arlec near me, there's a John r Turk but their prices look quite similar to supercheap/jaycar. Was hoping there was a secret specialist around or online :)

Ebay seems pretty cheap, a lot with free postage.

Yeah I had eBay as a backup but if there was a local option I was going to try that. Might be eBay after all for the tape

The problem with some of the insulated wire sold by Supercrap etc is that it is crap...better of sourcing through a friendly Auto Eric-trician.

However, a replacement loom tailored to what you want is likely to be the best option.
