The tape used from the factory on the wires in the engine bay is a cloth like material.
I had to lenghten my AIT wiring when I put on the Mopar long ram CAI recently and want to tidy up the spliced area a bit but cannot find the same type of tape.
And of course the dealer was no help, told me to go to auto parts store, which I have tried a few and all they have is the plastic looking electrical tape.
Somebody here has got to know where I can get the matching tape!

try using this: Friction Tape

Search around since most hardware stores carry the stuff.

Example for price...
Ace® 30ft 3/4in Friction Tape - Electrical Tape - Ace Hardware

I think you'll find that there is a difference between harness tape and common hardware store friction tape, harness tape has no adhesive.

Go to ebay and search "split braided sleeving" ...you will find exactly what you want. I covered all the wires in the engine bay of my R/T with this sleeving. I used a scissor to cut it and then held a lighter under the edge to melt/seal the fibers so they didn't fray.

True. But $2.29 for 30ft one can hardly complain plus it looks similar in pattern to factory coverings for short runs or touch ups.

Problem is, when exposed to heat, the friction tape adhesive makes a sticky mess....the harness tape doesn't.

Yearone has the non adhesive tape. I used it on my 69 Chevelle. Hope this helps.

This is what I was thinking of for long runs and replacement covering. I know friction tape will get sticky but that usually goes away over time and only for covering the exposed loom ends and stuff from weather intrusions.

Thanks for the help guys.
I found the cloth wiring tape at Yearone online shopping.:thumbsup:
Should be a perfect match.
