I need to make a new wire harness for an old WD-45 I've
acquired. I've found heat shrink braided sleeving that I'm
thinking about using. It would give the protection you mention
and hopefully shrink down and look similar to a factory wire
loom. Has anyone used such a product before? Here's an eBay link
to a source I was thinking of trying.</div>

<div class="PlainText">The biggest problem with voltage drop

<br>
solder every connection and protect them with heat shrink
tubing, which <br>
is available at Harbor Freight and other places like
Northern Tool. If <br>
you can find heat shrink in large enough sizes, I would
also use that <br>
for protecting the entire harness with the split plastic
stuff on the <br>
outside for better abrasion protection, plus it is much
easier to <br>
replace if necessary.<br>

With the short runs you’ll actually be dealing with, you
shouldn’t see a large voltage drop.<br>
