mclark999 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I was starting on installing an aftermarket brake proportioning valve and noticed that the wire loom running down the driver side is all melted. What is a good way to protect the wiring? Does it need to be relocated? Edited November 13, 2012 by mclark999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snailed Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 First, the plastic loom should be rated for engine bay temps. You can tell if it's rated for higher heat becasue it will have a white or light grey tracer. The regular type has no tracer and is just plain black or some tacky, bright color. To give it more protection, you could get some reflective, heat sleeving, wrap or loom. DEI or Thermo Tec make lots of different products that will work. You could also use a thin piece of stainless steel to make a shield between and hot areas and your wiring. There are a million other solutions too...do some googling and learn how people do it and come up with your own plan. Most importantly, make sure the wires inside are still in good shape before you cover them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
