Title: Motoplat Wiring Jacket
Post by: Keith Meatyard on January 04, 2012, 06:58:05 PM
Do any of you detailed restorers know if there is a place to readily obtain the black vinyl tubing that covers the wires between the stator and coil?  Everything I checked at auto parts and building supplies has been way too thick walled.  The original stuff is thin like a soda straw and about .400" O.D.

Meat,
This link was from a previous post on the topic.  Look in sleeves to see if something is applicable.

Any idea on what size is needed? I am away from home and would like to route an additional baseplate ground wire in the loom for a bike I am working on presently for a friend and would like to get some ordered. Thanks, Mike

Dale, you da man!!  I just ordered from the site.  Their product in the 11 mm size is just like the original tubing covering the wires between stator and coil.
