Going to be installing a AAW wiring harness in my 67.

Want to use a nice braided sleeve.

Any good recommendations for the sleeving besides the painless?  I used painless in my coupe and its nice but expensive and wondering if there is something comparable but better price point as I know many times you are just paying for the name.
 

PM me your email addy and I'll send my supplier list.  It not only includes a decent source for the loom you seek but also has a good source for adhesive lined heat shrink tube and a lot of other useful wiring stuff.
I normally terminate that woven loom with a 1" piece of double wall (adhesive lined) heat shrink tubing.  Keeps the loom from fraying and gives a nice finished look.

 Is the supplier info only available by PM to you?
Might be of interest to every one here who needs those products.

Of course, there are many suppliers out there, Rudi.  I just compiled a list of who I've been using for the few harnesses I've been involved in modifying or building. 
I will see about posting the info in the Tips/How To section if MS is okay with that.

I miss the old days when my Mom was working at an electronics company that made wiring harnesses for F-16s. She would take the wiring from our project cars and run them through the wire loom weaving machine after hours. The cost was loom weaving materials and a ride in the finished car. There are a dozen cars zooming around southeast Texas sporting F-16 looking wiring harnesses. I have often wondered if I could find a loom weaving machine on eBay. Many ways to skin a cat.

Did you know you can use fabric reweaving techniques to blend together branch woven looms to main branches? Detail work. Adds style points.

Get Bob's list of supplies and suppliers, lots of good information there. Search "Wrap-Around Sleeving"
at McMaster Car, it's the same stuff as Painfull for less money.  

Do that search on McMaster - Carr.  Upper left corner is the stuff.  I get it from Terminal Supply, they sell it by the foot at reasonable prices.
