This is the black tape that is used to bundle the wires together. It looks to be a cloth backed tape. I know I could use anything from regular electrical tape to heat shrink tubing, but am looking to replicate the original tape. Has anyone found a suitable and accurate replacement for the factory tape?
Best thing I have come up with so far would be a matte black "gaffers" tape (not to be confused with generic "duct" tape). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_tape |

Yeah, concours level accuracy is not my target. But the concours folks probably have already solved this. It would be interesting to know what they do. I am just wanting to keep the same factory look, but with something that also functions well. The low tack aspect of Gaffer's tape might be an issue. If I don't get much feedback on this thread, I might just end up mail ordering a few different brands/types of Gaffer's tape and test them out to see which works best.
