Yes, I don't know why it's thrashing around so much, a vibration injury just waiting to happen. This home made one seems to have no shake at all; kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYWAk7Oaedqzp84.html

@@P.N.365 That's about as loose as it can be is why. The tape shows no contour whatsoever of the cables underneath and I'm aware that fabric style harness tape will show less, but properly cinched in like harness tape should be, you're still going to see cable definition poking through. There's no torque to that machine at all. Vibration in this case = torque because of the inequal load balance of the big ass tape spool whipping around the central area. The only good reason I can think of not to counterbalance it more would be to get that 'yank' effect of really stretching the tape tight to the surface. It could also be very likely this was never intended to be something you get your hands so fucking close to while running.

Very informative and interesting. I'm replacing a bunch of deteriorated OE loom and I now know to avoid using electrical tape as much as possible.

Great video! 50 years worth of car work and I always wondered how this was done! Thank you for posting!

That is so cool! Ive always wondered how they were made, thanks!

awesome i want one , after making looms by hand this is magic

Thanks for the tips you have provided here.

That's very impressive and interesting. I learnt something new today. Thanks.

I operated one of these machines for a number of years. FLIPPING Tiresome Work that was.

I got to know the use of non adhesive tapes... And disadvantages of adhesive tapes... Thanks very much for the video...

Non-adhesive tapes are used to cover/wrap wiring harnesses. The disadvantage of using ADHESIVE tape (like electrical tape) is that the adhesive will degrade in a short time (months), will unravel, and become a mess.

Can you build an engine harness for a 1998 Chevrolet C/K 3500 454 / 7.4 engine

Do you know where I can get the tape on wire harness retainers that Ford uses?

and I was so close to doing some concentric twisting and some dr25 heat shrink sleeves when I can just tape the whole harness!

*Can we see this process again, but this time from another angle please ???*

The taping machines we use are refurbished ORIGINAL machines, used to make wiring harnesses for General Motors 70 years ago!

So how exactly do you tie off the tape? To keep to from unraveling. Make a knot some how?

There are 2 bulk head connectors. The one that is attached to the back of the fuse block and passes through the firewall, and the connectors that connect are part of the Engine and/or Forward Lamp Harness. We do sell a few, but not many, bulk head connectors. Those can be found on the on-line catalog of our website www.lectriclimited.com . Of course, all of our applicable original wiring will come with new bulkhead connectors.

Oh good they have a plastic shield for eye protection.

Interesting..

What is the part number for the harness tape? Is it silicone fusing tape?

You said the adhesive from common electric tape attracts oil? How so?

@LectricLimited

All adhesive-backed tape will attract dirt, dust, oil and anything else that will stick to the adhesive. Static-electricity on the tape speeds-up the process.

This machine looks awesome. But unfortunately here in Australia work safe would be all over this.

why not use a heat shrink sleeve instead of tape?

@LectricLimited

4 жыл бұрын

Since we make exact reproduction wiring harness, and heat shrink sleeve was not originally used on these harnesses, we don't use it. There are also a lot of other reasons that no manufacturer uses heat shrink tubing to cover a harness: not-flexible, can't break-out wires, cost, application impossible while assembling, etc.

@@LectricLimited you also cannot slide them past the breakout points, and over connectors etc. you would have to build through them which is how we do it for military harnesses.

I wonder how people do this now without that machine?

I dread to think what would happen should the operator get his hand caught

I thought it used to tape with hand

Surely a cloth based tape like that made by German company Tesa should be used. It is the only type of tape I've seen used in any European vehicle.

@LectricLimited

Cloth-based tape is used in certain areas of US-made cars, and we do use cloth-based tape in those areas. Since we made exact reproduction wiring harnesses, we use what the original manufacturer (GM, Ford, etc.) used.

No. Not all day. He also assembles and circuit tests the harnesses before the taping process. And not all harnesses get taped. Later model car harnesses are wrapped with convoluted tubing.

A 'restored' vehicle without new looms/harnesses ain't restored!

That is extremely dangerous.
